Chelsea confirm signing of free transfer Fulham defender
Chelsea have signed Fulham defender Tosin Adarabioyo on a free transfer.
The 26-year-old has penned a four-year deal with the west London rivals.
Adarabioyo becomes Enzo Maresca’s first signing since joining from Leicester.
Ex-Man City youngster Adarabioyo made 132 appearances for the club in all competitions for Fulham.
He turned down multiple contract offers from Fulham to join the Blues.
Newcastle United were frontrunners to land Adarabioyo during negotiations, but Chelsea have won the race for his signature.
“Chelsea is a huge club and this is a full-circle moment for me. I was born three miles away from Stamford Bridge and made my professional debut there,” Adarabioyo said.
“I’m very excited and looking forward to helping push the club in the direction we want to go.”
