Tottenham to reignite Adarabioyo interest this summer?

Tottenham could reportedly renew their interest in Fulham defender Tosin Adarabioyo, who is out of contract at the end of the season.

Tottenham Hotspur could reportedly renew their pursuit of Fulham defender Tosin Adarabioyo this summer.

The North London club were heavily linked with the centre-back last summer amid rival interest from Ligue 1 side Monaco.

Despite catching the attention of at least a couple of clubs, Adarabioyo has ultimately remained with Marco Silva's side for the 2023-24 season.

However, he still faces an uncertain future at Craven Cottage, with his contract set to expire at the end of the current campaign.

Although Adarabioyo has indicated that he is keen to move on, Fulham are still hoping to retain his services and reach an agreement over a new contract.

With less than six months to run on his current deal, Calciomercato are reporting that Tottenham are continuing to keep a close eye on Adarabioyo.

The report suggests that Spurs are monitoring the player's situation, as they weigh up a potential free transfer for the 26-year-old.

Despite signing Radu Dragusin in the winter transfer window, Spurs are expected to recruit a new centre-back ahead of the 2024-25 campaign.

Spurs could face competition for Adarabioyo's signature, with AC Milan and West Ham United among those who are weighing up a move.

Adarabioyo, who came through the Manchester City academy, has also previously been linked with a switch to Premier League leaders Liverpool.

After being hampered by injury in the opening three months of the season, Adarabioyo has returned to fitness to make 16 competitive appearances for Fulham this season.

Having made nine consecutive Premier League starts, he is expected to appear in the backline when Fulham face Bournemouth at Craven Cottage on Saturday.
