West Bromwich Albion are reportedly set to sign Manchester City centre-back Tosin Adarabioyo on loan.
West Bromwich Albion will reportedly sign Manchester City defender Tosin Adarabioyo on a season-long loan.
According to the Daily Mail, the Baggies are closing in on a deal for the 20-year-old and he is travelling to the Midlands to have a medical on Thursday afternoon ahead of a temporary switch.
It is understood that Darren Moore’s side look set to beat local rivals Wolves and Dutch side Utrecht to the centre-back, after the pair both showed an interest in him this summer.
West Brom have been reshaping their squad ahead of the new season in the Championship and they start at home to Bolton Wanderers on Saturday.
They have already added centre-back Kyle Bartley and there could now be a potential pairing alongside City’s highly-rated youngster.
Adarabioyo is a product of the City academy, but he has been on the fringes of the first-team recently.
The 6ft 5in colossus has made eight senior appearances for the reigning Premier League champions and three of those have been in the Champions League.
He is renowned for being a big aerial presence and looks likely to be heading out on his first loan experience away from the Etihad Stadium.
