tl.Confirmed! Chelsea medical prepares Adarabioyo for Stamford Bridge move ‎ ‎

In anticipation of his rumored free transfer to Stamford Bridge, Fulham defender Tosin Adarabioyo—who is of Nigerian descent—is supposedly having a medical with Chelsea on Tuesday.

After this summer’s contract with Fulham expires, the 26-year-old will be free to rejoin former Manchester City colleague and new Blues boss Enzo Maresca.

аԀаrаbiоyо Һаs been extenԀeԀ а lоng-term cоntrаct by CҺelseа, wҺо Һаve recоgnizeԀ Һis exceptiоnаl аvаilаbility, injury recоrԀ, аnԀ Premier Leаgue experience.

He expressed his delight about joining Chelsea and couldn’t resist the opportunity to join Stamford Bridge, even though Newcastle was also interested in signing the Englishman.Adarabioyo decided to join Chelsea over the weekend, and once the transaction is finalized, he will become the first signing of the Maresca era.

The transfer was attractive to Adarabioyo for a number of reasons, including his familiarity with Maresca, Chelsea’s new boss, from their time together at Manchester City, and Chelsea’s qualification for European play.

After being an integral part of Fulham’s starting lineup for the past few seasons, Adarabioyo will be eager to keep his starting position at Chelsea.

With Chelsea’s qualification for the UEFA Conference League requiring squad rotation, the 6ft 5in center-half has a good chance of obtaining playing time, while comPeting with numerous talented defenders in the squad.

A ‘great’ defender according to Darragh Lenihan of the Lancashire Times, Adarabioyo is swift, powerful, and at ease with the ball. This may be a really astute free transfer deal since he is 26 years old and joining Chelsea right before his prime years.
