• Chelsea targets Fulham's Tosin Adarabioyo as a potential centreback option.
• Adarabioyo has proven himself in the Premier League since joining Fulham.
• 'Blues' face competition from Newcastle United for the defender's signature.

It's no secret that Chelsea is on the lookout for defensive reinforcements, with veteran Thiago Silva set to leave and uncertainty surrounding Trevoh Chalobah. The club has identified Fulham's Tosin Adarabioyo as a viable candidate due to his solid performances in the English league.

Standing at an imposing height of 6ft5, Adarabioyo excels in aerial duels and timing interceptions. He boasts impressive stats this season, averaging 1.2 shots, 1.3 interceptions, and 4.3 clearances per game.

The Blues are keen on securing the services of Adrabaiyoyo not only for his abilities but also because he will be available on a free transfer. This costeffective move would allow Chelsea to allocate funds towards strengthening other areas like their attacking lineup.

Newcastle United poses stiff competition for Chelsea in acquiring Adrabaiyoyo’s signature, making it crucial for 'The Blues' to act swiftly if they want to secure his services ahead of their rivals.
