English Premier League (EPL) side Fulham have confirmed that free agent Tosin Adarabioyo has left the club as a free agent, with reports stating that he is close to a deal to join Chelsea.
This was made known in a post shared on X (formerly known as Twitter) by transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, who informed that Chelsea will soon complete the deal to bring him to Stanford Bridge.
‘‘Fulham confirms Tosin Adarabioyo’s exit as free agent… and Chelsea will soon complete deal to bring him to the club.
Medical tests, already complete,’’ Romano wrote on his official X handle recently.

This comes days after it was confirmed that Chelsea is considering a deal for Adarabioyo in an attempt to fill the void left by the departure of Thiago Silva, a seasoned centre-back from Brazil.
Adarabioyo might be interested in the Chelsea move since it would provide him a greater platform to gain exposure abroad while he waits to sign with the Blues.
Newcastle coach Eddie Howe has also approved the move by his club to secure the services of Adarabioyo from Fulham.
This was made known in a post shared on X by Romano, who informed that Howe has approved the signing of Adarabioyo and Bournemouth player Lloyd Kelly ahead of next season.
