Newcastle United head coach Eddie Howe is making moves to sign Fulham defender Tosin Adarabioyo and Bournemouth player Lloyd Kelly ahead of next season.
This information was made known by transfer guru Fabrizio Romano, who revealed in a post shared on his X handle that both players are a priority for the club.
‘‘Newcastle are planning to sign Lloyd Kelly regardless of the timing for the new director to join the club, as a priority target already approved by Eddie Howe.
‘‘Howe also wants Tosin Adarabioyo, and #NUFC is optimistic to get both deals done early in the summer window.’’ Romano wrote on his official X handle.

This comes days after Manchester United joined the long list of top-flight clubs in the race to sign the 26-year-old defender.
According to sources cited by ESPN, a player who started his professional career with Manchester City has emerged as a possible transfer target for Manchester United. The player made his senior debut in 2016 after progressing through the club’s youth ranks.
Adarabioyo currently earns £47,000 a week, but he hasn’t signed a new contract with Fulham. Though it is believed that the player and the club had been in contract talks, Adarabioyo has decided to move on with less than a month remaining in the 2023–24 campaign.
Manchester United, Tottenham, Chelsea, and Newcastle have been informed of the deal to sign Adarabioyo as a free agent.
