Saturday, June 8, 2024 - Chelsea have completed their first signing of the Enzo Maresca era by securing Tosin Adarabioyo on a free from Fulham.
The defender has penned a four-year contract with the
Blues, who see his ability on the ball and prowess at set-pieces as a key asset
ahead of the next season.
The 26-year-old came through the Manchester
City academy and will now work with Maresca, Pep Guardiola’s former
assistant who wants to implement a possession-based style of play.
'Chelsea is a huge club and this is a full-circle moment for
me. I was born three miles away from Stamford Bridge and made my professional
debut there,' said Adarabioyo.
'I’m very excited and looking forward to helping push the
club in the direction we want to go.’
Adarabioyo completed his medical with Chelsea earlier this
week as they beat Newcastle and Manchester United to his signing.
Manchester United made a late attempt to sign
Nigerian-born defender but talks over a move to Chelsea were already
too far advanced for him to change his mind.
