Chelsea Football Club (CFC) on Friday, June 7 confirmed the signing of centre-back, Tosin Adarabioyo on a four-year deal.
CFC secured the signing of the defender ahead of competition from Manchester United, who were reportedly interested in the player.
Adarabioyo, 26, joined the west London side on free transfer after a four-year stint at Fulham, where he made 132 appearances and scored 5 goals.
“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. I’m very excited and looking forward to helping push the club in the direction we want to go,” the defender was quoted as saying by sports journalist, Fabrizio Romano.
He added: “I’m here at Chelsea to win, I want to win. Before confirming the move, I gave Sterling and Cole Pammer a call and they had nothing but positive things to say about the club and the project.”
Adarabioyo will join Chelsea on July 1, 2024, thereby becoming the club’s first signing in the summer transfer window.
