A free transfer that turned into a squad problem
Two years at Stamford Bridge, and he is already on the way out. Tosin Adarabioyo does not figure in Xabi Alonso’s plans, and Foot Mercato reported late in the day that Tottenham are chasing the 28-year-old England-born defender, with talks running between the two London clubs.
He came from Fulham in 2024 on a free. Sensible business at the time. The kind of signing that costs nothing up front and, two summers on, costs you a place in a bloated squad.
Try it for $0.99.
Betis need a sale before they can buy
Real Betis have registered their interest too, with a condition attached. The Andalusians will only move once their own Brazilian centre-back Natan, 25, has found a new club. So Betis are waiting. Tottenham are negotiating.
A switch to Spurs would sting at Chelsea. Crossing London to reinforce a direct rival never goes down quietly. Then again, a defender who has stopped getting minutes tends to weigh a guaranteed run of games above everything else.
Chelsea are nowhere near finished
The clear-out rolls on at the Blues. Several players could still leave before the English window shuts at midnight on Tuesday. Chelsea are simultaneously working through Enzo Fernandez’s exit to Manchester City, a deal above 140 million euros, and already sketching out how to replace him in midfield.
Busy days for a club that was meant to have its squad sorted. Adarabioyo has 48 hours to find out where he plays this season. Or to find out he is staying, and not playing.
