Fulham defender and Super Eagles eligible, Tosin Adarabioyo is expected to undergo a medical with Chelsea next week, paving the way for a long-term contract with the Blues.
The 26-year-old, who will become a free agent by the end of the month, has been a subject of interest from multiple Premier League clubs, including Newcastle United and Manchester United.
According to reports, Chelsea have emerged as the frontrunners to secure Adarabioyo’s signature, with negotiations advancing to the final stages.
The deal is believed to be worth £10m, a significant investment in the young defender’s potential.
Adarabioyo’s impending arrival at Stamford Bridge is expected to be the first signing under incoming manager Enzo Maresca.
The move is seen as a strategic one, given Adarabioyo’s homegrown status and the need to bolster Chelsea’s defense following the departure of Thiago Silva.
While some fans may question the signing, Adarabioyo’s impressive performances for Fulham last season suggest he has the potential to become a valuable asset for the Blues.
