Fulham Pushing To Sign Nigerian Center Back, Who Has Spent 18 Years At Man City

Published: October 05, 2020

English Premier League basement team Fulham are pushing to sign Nigerian center back Tosin Adarabioyo few hours before the close of the summer transfer window.

According to The Sun UK, the Cottagers are closing in on Adarabioyo in a deal that could see Manchester City pocket in the region of eight million pounds.

The former England youth international had attracted interest from Everton, Brighton & Hove and West Ham in this window but Fulham are in pole position for his signature.

He joined Manchester City eighteen years ago, at the age of five, and has played 8 matches for the first team of the Citizens since making his professional debut against Chelsea in February 2016.

Fulham are openly in the market for defensive reinforcements after conceding eleven goals in the new season and failing to win any of their four matches in the top-flight.

Adarabioyo is eager to play in the top-flight of English football after tasting action in the Championship during back-to-back loan spells with West Brom and Blackburn Rovers.

Fulham have brought in Nigerian duo Ola Aina and Ademola Lookman on season-long loan deals from Torino and RB Leipzig respectively in the summer transfer window.
