Chelsea is close to securing the signing of Tosin Adarabioyo, who is currently a free agent following the expiration of his contract with Fulham.

Despite earlier speculation linking him to Newcastle, Adarabioyo is now set to become Enzo Maresca’s inaugural signing at Stamford Bridge.

Football transfer expert Fabrizio Romano tweeted the latest update, stating negotiations are in their final stages.

He wrote; “Newcastle have been working on Tosin deal for weeks but #CFC now clear favorites, cautious until it’s sealed.

“Tosin to be first signing for Enzo Maresca, if all goes to plans.”
