At Stamford Bridge, Todd Boehly has successfully completed a deal of £65 million for a world-class player, causing jubilation among the fans. DONE DEAL✅ MEDICALS ✅.

Fulham defender Tosin Adarabioyo, who has Nigerian heritage, is reportedly set to undergo a medical examination at Chelsea on Tuesday in anticipation of a free transfer to Stamford Bridge.

Adarabioyo, 26, will see his contract with Fulham expire this summer. This development paves the way for a reunion with Chelsea’s new manager, Enzo Maresca, with whom he previously worked at Manchester City.

Chelsea has extended a long-term contract offer to Adarabioyo, appreciating his Premier League experience, consistent availability, and strong injury record.

Although Newcastle showed interest in the English defender, Adarabioyo was drawn to the opportunity at Chelsea and expressed excitement about the move to Stamford Bridge.

Upon finalizing the formalities of his contract, Adarabioyo will become the first signing under Maresca’s leadership, having agreed to join Chelsea over the weekend.

Adarabioyo’s previous experience with Maresca at Manchester City and Chelsea’s qualification for European competitions added to the appeal of this move.

As a key starter for Fulham in recent seasons, Adarabioyo aims to maintain his significant role at Chelsea rather than becoming a peripheral player.

Standing at 6ft 5in, the center-half will compete with several high-quality defenders in the Chelsea squad but has a strong chance of securing playing time. Chelsea’s participation in the UEFA Conference League will likely necessitate squad rotation.

Praised as a ‘fantastic’ defender by Darragh Lenihan (Lancashire Times), Adarabioyo is known for his speed, strength, and composure on the ball. At 26, he is joining Chelsea just before his peak years, making this a potentially astute free transfer.
