Chelsea are preparing for a busy summer in the transfer market as they look to strengthen their ranks and take advantage of a difficult 2023/24 campaign.
The Blues struggled in midfield for much of the season before bouncing back to finish sixth, earning them a spot in the Europa Conference League.
Chelsea have hired a new manager: Enzo Maresca will succeed Mauricio Pochettino at Stamford Bridge.
Now it turns out that the Blues are about to announce a new signing, according to CBS journalist Ben Jacobs.
The source has taken to GiveMeSport to claim that Chelsea’s announcement of Tosin Adarabioyo as a new Blues player is now imminent.
Just two days ago, Fabrizio Romano announced that the defender, who is expected to leave Fulham, is undergoing his medical at Chelsea and that there is still no confirmed resolution.
Now, Jacobs has provided an update and also given Blues enthusiasts more ideas on their club’s summer plans.
“I think Chelsea need to sign 4 or five, and the fact that they have Tosin early is great news,” Jacobs wrote. “He has passed his medical examination, which will be announced shortly.
“And while an easy move is never easy, it’s economic, you can say that, because you don’t pay any payments, and that will allow Chelsea to allocate their budget elsewhere. “
Tosin Adarabioyo is one of the most sought-after free agents in the English market this summer, and it seems that Chelsea are close to signing him.
He has made 132 appearances for Fulham since joining in 2020, and also recorded goals and two assists for the Cottagers.
At 26, Adarabioyo is entering the stage of his life as a defender. The 6-foot-5 ace is strong, fast, and physically imposing.
For such a “special” player to be available on a flexible transfer, it’s no wonder that so many clubs are chasing him, including Newcastle United.
However, it turns out that Les Bleus have won the race and I hope it won’t be long before we get the most important official announcement.
