AC Milan interested in signing Fulham's Nigerian central defender 

Seven-time European champions AC Milan are reportedly interested in signing Fulham's Nigerian center-back Tosin Adarabioyo.

According to celbrated Italian sports newspaper La Gazzetta dello Sport , the Italian giants have shortlisted the Super Eagles-eligible defender as a potential signing.

The report added that the club is not considering signing the Manchester City academy product in this window but in the summer.

It appears that the Rossoneri want to bolster their defensive line which has looked shaky this season, with 20 goals conceded in the Serie A, the most among teams in the top five.

Tosin is running into the final months of his contract with Fulham and could sign a pre-contract agreement with a non-Premier League club this month.

The 26-year-old was previously linked with Bayern Munich who are in search of a center back in this window but the report of the Bavarian's interest in him has been dismissed.

Tottenham have also been an admirer of the former  England youth international but the prospect of signing Radu Drăgușin might end Spurs' interest in him.

After his initial struggles with injuries in the first few months of the season, Adarabioyo has fought his way back into Marco Silva's side, having started the last 7 games across all competitions.
