AS Monaco set to hold talks with Fulham defender and Tottenham Hotspur target Tosin Adarabioyo
Tottenham Hotspur target and Fulham defender Tosin Adarabioyo is set to hold a discussion with AS Monaco regarding a move this summer, according to the Daily Mail.
Spurs have the English national on their radar in the ongoing transfer window. However, the Ligue 1 outfit also have their eyes on him and are stepping up their pursuit to acquire the centre-back’s services.
As things stand, the French giants are willing to part ways with Axel Disasi in the coming weeks. Premier League rivals Newcastle United are interested in the France international.
Fulham signed Adarabioyo in the summer of 2020 from Manchester City. Subsequently, he has been a key player for the Cottagers over the years. The 25-year-old put in some impressive displays in the Championship to help the London-based club gain promotion to the PL.
However, last season, the centre-back lost his place in the team at the Craven Cottage side. He was in and out of Marco Silva’s team but cemented a place towards the end of the campaign.
Monaco want to bolster their backline and have had a few options on their radar. However, they deemed Armel Bella-Kotchap and Mohammed Salisu from Southampton too expensive.
At Tottenham, the defence was a major issue last season. Antonio Conte was unable to solidify the team and we were fragile. The North London side struggled to hold onto leads and keep clean sheets.
Eric Dier has been inconsistent for some time now at Tottenham. Ben Davies is not a natural defender. Clement Lenglet was a big part of our backline in the previous campaign but has returned to Barcelona. Davinson Sanchez’s future is also uncertain.

Therefore, we evidently need to add reinforcements in the centre-back position this summer. However, whether Monaco will beat us to the punch and sign Adarabioyo remains to be seen.
