Dragusin not enough? Spurs set for another defensive addition in Tosin Adarabioyo
Tottenham Hotspur are in regular dialogue with Fulham defender Tosin Adarabioyo’s representatives as the Lilywhites lay the groundwork for a possible transfer in the upcoming summer transfer window, per Football Insider.
There is a need for a new central defender going into the off-season at White Hart Lane. Daniel Levy and the officials at N17 have to ensure giving Ange Postecoglou some squad depth going into the upcoming campaign as the Australian gaffer looks to build on his progress in North London.
The former Melbourne Victory boss had to play full-backs in the heart of the defence as fillers at some point this season, and he would want to have formidable depth in the central defensive position going into the next season.
Tottenham brought in Radu Dragusin from Genoa in January in a £26.7 million (€31 million) deal with the Italian club after the Romanian international chose to join the North Londoners over Bayern Munich. However, Spurs are irrespectively expected to push through on a new defensive acquisition this summer.
Tosin Adarabioyo transfer tussle, as Tottenham seek advantage
The Manchester City graduate’s contract at Craven Cottage is due at the end of the season, and he has rejected multiple offers made by Fulham with a significant pay rise as his stay in West London hangs by a thread.
Tottenham have been in talks with the 26-year-old for a while now, and they are looking to lay the groundwork to ensure they can outweigh their potential competitors for his services. Alongside Tottenham, Liverpool and Manchester United are also looking to sign Tosin Adarabioyo, while West Ham has also joined the race for his services.
