Tottenham Hotspur are reportedly showing strong interest in signing Fulham defender Tosin Adarabioyo.
With Adarabioyo’s contract set to expire in the summer of 2024, talks over a new contract with Fulham have collapsed, opening up the possibility of a transfer.
Tottenham are looking to bolster their defensive options and have identified him as a potential solution.
A previous report from Football London claimed that the North London club has been closely monitoring the 6 feet 5 centre-back for some time. It was also suggested that player could be keen on a move as well but latest report claims otherwise.
AS Monaco are another club that have been interested in signing the defender but Sport Witness reported three days ago that links with the French club has slowed down due to interest from Tottenham.
However, according to RMC Sport, the player is keen on a move to the Ligue 1 side but Fulham ‘want to send’ him to Tottenham instead.
This is because Fulham are interested in signing Tottenham defender Eric Dier and they would rather sell to Adarabioyo in order to maintain good relations with the club.
As things stands, the report claims that Monaco have already agreed personal terms with the player and have offered him a better deal as well as guaranteed playing time.
If Tottenham are seriously interested in signing the 25-year-old, they will have to convince the player by offering him player better terms than the French side as well as agree on a fee with Fulham.
The need for another centre-back remains with several players linked. Whether Tottenham can get another defender in before the transfer window shuts remains to be seen.
