Sheffield Wednesday have been linked with a move for the Manchester City defender.
Sheffield Wednesday’s chances of signing Tosin Adarabioyo ahead of Wednesday night’s transfer deadline are looking increasingly unlikely.
The Daily Mail reported on Tuesday that the Owls were showing interest in the City defender, who it was claimed could be allowed to leave the Etihad Stadium on loan.
Adarabioyo, however, has been named on Pep Guardiola’s bench for the visit of West Bromwich Albion, after John Stones pulled out of the squad through illness.
That game is scheduled to finish at around 9:30pm [GMT], which would leave the 20-year-old little time to finalise a deal – even with Sheffield a mere 40 miles over the Pennines.
Sheffield Wednesday manager Jos Luhukay refused to comment on speculation linking his side with a move for Adarabioyo after Tuesday’s draw at Middlesbrough.
And the Dutchman is likely to be happy with his current options, who have conceded once – to their own player – in six matches.
Wednesday have strong links with Manchester City, who poached their academy chief Dean Ramsdale last summer.
Would Adarabioyo be a worthwhile signing for Sheffield Wednesday?
