Chelsea are now closing on the signing of Tosin Adarabioyo.
Adarabioyo is now a free agent after his contract with Fulham expired this summer.
Although the defender was believed to be on his way to Newcastle, he is now set to become Enzo Maresca’s first signing at Stamford Bridge.
Football transfer expert, Fabrizio Romano, tweeted on Saturday: “EXCLUSIVE: Chelsea are closing in on deal to sign Tosin Adarabioyo, negotiations at final stages.
“Newcastle have been working on Tosin deal for weeks but #CFC now clear favorites, cautious until it’s sealed.
“Tosin to be first signing for Enzo Maresca, if all goes to plans.”
