Tottenham transfers: Door opens for Postecoglou to sign classy centre-back after Sanchez exit
Tosin Adarabioyo, a defender who plays for Fulham in the Premier League, may be available for move to Tottenham in the January transfer window.
The 25-year-old center back was a target for Ange Postecoglou during the summer transfer season, especially after a deal to join Monaco of France fell through.
However, Adarabioyo is being left out in the cold under Marco Silva after a late escape from Craven Cottage fell through.
According to Football Insider, the large defender, who is in the final year of his contract, burned his bridges at Fulham, making it difficult for him to reenter the team.
Last month, it was asserted that Fulham was prepared for Adarabioyo’s departure and was considering options.
However, the footballer stayed in west London after Spurs’ offer was rejected and Monaco’s proposal was rejected.
Adarabioyo was said to have been training alone up until recently and has only played as a substitute this season after being left out of the matchday squad for their first two games.
Adarabioyo first came to Fulham from Manchester City’s youth in 2020, and in January of this year, the club activated an extension to keep him at Craven Cottage through the next summer.
The defender has played 108 times for Fulham in all competitions since his arrival, scoring three goals and providing two assists.
Abarabioyo set for January transfer
Abarabioyo was a regular starter for Marco Silva’s team last season, but it now appears that he will be leaving in January, with Tottenham the clear favorites to sign him.
Due to the fact that Eric Dier is still not in Postecoglou’s plans and Davinson Sanchez was allowed to leave to Turkey this week, the north London team has several gaps at center back.
Has James Maddison been acquired by Tottenham as the summer’s top acquisition?
James Maddison, who Tottenham may have acquired, might be the summer’s top acquisition.
Only Ben Davies and Ashley Phillips remain as Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven’s backup players after the summer signings.
On September 16, Tottenham will resume play when they visit Sheffield United in the Premier League, and Fulham will host Luton.
