Premier League champions Manchester City could reportedly move to bring Adarabioyo back from Championship hopefuls West Bromwich Albion.
West Bromwich Albion fans were left heartbroken when Harvey Barnes was re-called by Leicester City earlier this month.
Barnes scored nine goals and produced six assists in the first half of the season, firing the Baggies into the top six and establishing himself as arguably the most exciting attacking talent anywhere in the Championship.
So every West Brom fan agrees that he will be missed.
With Adarabioyo, however, the situation is far less clear cut. According to the Express and Star, Manchester City could look to bring an end to the defender’s loan spell at The Hawthorns and send him to another Championship club as they are concerned about his lack of game time of late.
Unlike the exceptional Barnes, Adarabioyo has struggled to live up to expectations in West Brom colours, as some fans have pointed out.
But it must be mentioned that 11 of his 16 Championship starts have come at right-back rather than in his natural centre-half position. Like James Chester and Craig Dawson before him, it seems a little unfair to judge a defender for his performances in an unfamiliar and rather ill-fitting role.
So it seems that reports of Adarabioyo’s exit have left fans divided.
