Tottenham Hotspur are now interested in snapping up Fulham defender Tosin Adarabioyo to bolster Ange Postecoglou’s defence.
Tosin Adarabioyo is open to leaving Fulham this summer with London rivals Tottenham Hotspur now keen on signing him.
That is according to a report from Sky Sports, who claim that Adarabioyo is now one of the targets on Tottenham’s wish list.
It’s suggested that Tottenham’s interesting Adarabioyo is only at an early stage but Spurs are now considering making a formal approach.
Adarabioyo only has one more year left on his contract after Fulham triggered an extension in his deal.
Fulham are struggling to tempt Adarabioyo into signing a new contract and he is understood to be open to leaving.
Tottenham are plotting a move for Adarabioyo and may hope to secure a cut-price deal for the centre back.
Adarabioyo is a huge presence at 6ft 5in tall and still has plenty of untapped potential at just 25.
Adarabioyo is also a homegrown player – something Tottenham really need – and he already has almost 60 Premier League appearances under his belt.
This rumour may not excite Tottenham fans but Adarabioyo may be a player who can really develop under Postecoglou.
Tosin Adarabioyo could be a part of major Tottenham defensive overhaul
A move for Adarabioyo may kickstart a real defensive overhaul under new boss Postecolgou.
Davinson Sanchez will surely move on this summer whilst the same goes for homegrown talent Japhet Tanganga.
Eric Dier’s future isn’t exactly secure right now and Clement Lenglet is only on loan from Barcelona.
Tottenham need to invest in their back line and Adarabioyo ticks a number of boxes.
The former Manchester City talent has been hailed as ‘brilliant’ by former Blackburn Rovers teammate Darragh Lenihan, praising his distribution, pace and size.
Adarabioyo has only got better since leaving Ewood Park and the time may be right for him to make the next step with a big move to Tottenham.
