Everton, West Ham United and Fulham are interested in signing Tosin Adarabioyo from Manchester City on summer transfer deadline day, according to The Sun (Transfer Live blog, 2:09pm, October 5, 2020).

It has been reported that the Toffees, the Hammers and the Cottagers all are keeping tabs on the 23-year-old central defender.

The report has claimed that youngster is unsure about committing his future to City, with his current contract running out at the end of the season.

However, according to the report, the former England Under-19 international is keen on playing in the Premier League, having been out on loan at Blackburn Rovers last season.

Another centre-back at Everton?

Everton announced the signing of Ben Godfrey from Norwich City earlier today, but it seems that the Toffees are open to bringing in another centre-back.

However, the Merseyside club do not need another centre-back, especially a young player such as Adarabioyo with not much top-fight experience.

The player himself is unlikely to get much playing time at Everton, especially with Godfrey having been signed today.

City manager Pep Guardiola rates the 23-year-old highly, telling The Manchester Evening News in August 2016 that “he has all the quality”, and that the youngster “is fast, he is faster than the people can believe it” and “strong in the air”.
