Official : Man City's Adarabioyo Becomes Third Nigerian To Join Fulham In Summer Window

With a statement on their official website, Fulham have announced the permanent signing of Tosin Adarabioyo from Manchester City.

Adarabioyo is the third English-born player of Nigerian descent to join the Cottagers in the summer transfer window after Ola Aina and Ademola Lookman who have been loaned in from Torino and RB Leipzig respectively.

The central defender has inked a three-year deal with Fulham, with the club holding the option to extend for a further year.

In his first words as a Fulham player, Adarabioyo said : "I’m very excited, very excited to get going and finally be playing Premier League football.

"I felt like the time was right to leave the [Man City] and push on. It was the right time in my career to move on and hopefully get a lot of Premier League games."

The 23-year-old Adarabioyo departs Manchester City after making eight appearances in all competitions and took in loan spells at West Brom and Blackburn Rovers during his time at the Etihad Stadium. 

He is in contention to make his Premier League debut after the international break.
