Eko Hot Blog reports that Fulham have announced that Tosin Adarabioyo is leaving the club in preparation for his highly anticipated move to Premier League rivals Chelsea.
The 26-year-old central defender is set to be the inaugural acquisition of Enzo Maresca’s tenure at Stamford Bridge.
Adarabioyo, who has played for the last four years at Craven Cottage, amassed 132 appearances across all competitions for Fulham.
Despite interest from Newcastle and Liverpool, Chelsea emerged victorious in securing his signature, obtaining him on a free transfer.
Adarabioyo is scheduled to undergo a medical examination today before his official confirmation as a Chelsea player.
