Sources: Arsenal and Manchester United are now showing interest in defender who is ‘faster than the people can believe’

Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal and Erik ten Hag’s Manchester United are keeping tabs on Tosin Adarabioyo, but there are five more Premier League clubs who are looking at the Fulham defender, HITC understands.

Tosin Adarabioyo is out of contract at Fulham at the end of the season and, as things stand, he is set to leave the Cottagers as a free agent.

Fulham are working hard to tie Adarabioyo down to a new contract, but he has so far rebuffed their advances.

HITC understands that Adarabioyo is set to utilise his impending free agency and move for nothing this summer.

The 26-year-old central defender’s form has been outstanding in recent times and interest in landing him has only increased.

Arsenal, Manchester United and Tottenham Hotspur among clubs keen on Tosin Adarabioyo

Tottenham Hotspur have been tracking Adarabioyo since last summer along with Bournemouth’s Lloyd Kelly, who is available on a free transfer as well in the summer of 2024.

HITC can also reveal that Arsenal, Everton, Liverpool, Manchester United, Newcastle United and West Ham United are keeping tabs on the former Manchester City prospect. The Hammers were linked with the defender in the January transfer window as well.

The fact that the defender will be available on a free transfer in the summer of 2024 is particularly appealing to the aforementioned clubs, especially given the current Profit and Sustainability issues impacting on the Premier League.

There is interest in the Fulham defender from mainland Europe as well. Sources have told HITC that AC Milan, Juventus, Lyon and Marseille are among the clubs looking at the 26-year-old.

Tosin Adarabioyo is rated highly

Tosin Adarabioyo has been on the books of Fulham since 2020 when he joined the London club after leaving Manchester City.

The defender has grown and progressed over the years and is now an established Premier League player.

The 26-year-old has made 73 appearances in the Premier League so far in his career. The defender has scored two goals and kept 17 clean sheets in those games.

Adarabioyo impressed City manager Pep Guardiola during his time at the defending Premier League champions.

Guardiola told The Manchester Evening News about Adarabioyo in August 2016: “He is fast, he is faster than the people can believe it. He’s strong in the air.”
