Fulham are searching for new defensive options as they are forced to face up to the fresh possibility of Tosin Adarabioyo leaving for AC Milan.

Fulham Transfer News

AC Milan have begun to make a move for the Fulham centre-back Tosin Adarabioyo, who has been in very impressive form since returning from a groin problem last month.

Tosin is out of contract at Craven Cottage at the end of this season, as the Whites are yet convince the 26-year-old to sign new terms.

There is a general feeling that Adarabioyo feels under-appreciated in west London and he has spent the past year open-minded about a move.

The Englishman was hoping a transfer to Monaco could open up – and Spurs were linked too – but while none of that has progressed, a transfer to Serie A could become possible.

Milan have been looking into options for their back line and have identified Tosin as an attainable target. The player could strike a deal now ahead of a free transfer in the summer and amid the uncertainty Fulham have been making in-roads over some plans of their own in case he does end up leaving.

There is no urgency unless the defender gets a proposal to leave before the end of January, but the possibility of signing Caglar Soyuncu from Atletico Madrid has been explored.

They face competition on that front though as at least three other big clubs across Europe are also looking into a deal for the Turkish player.

Tosin Adarabioyo Stats

Tosin Adarabioyo has made 117 appearances for the Cottagers after signing in 2020 for around £1m when failing to impress at Manchester City.

Coming through the ranks at Manchester City, Tosin made eight appearances for the first team and featured in the clubs Carabao Cup triumph.

His second, and only other professional piece of silverware, came during the 2021/22 season, as Tosin made 41 league appearances to help Fulham win the Championship.
