A defensive overhaul is expected to be high on Tottenham Hotspur’s list of priorities for the summer transfer window, especially with Ange Postecoglou having to deal with injuries to Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven for several weeks this season.
Chelsea centre-back Tosin Adarabioyo has struggled to make an impression for Enzo Maresca, but with Brighton seeking to sign the former Fulham star, he could give the club’s bank balance a huge boost.
This one comes from the Daily Mail, so take it with as many grains of salt as you’d like, but they claim in an exclusive that Brighton & Hove Albion are interested in signing Tosin Adarabioyo from Chelsea and are “keen on trying to tempt” the 27-year-old away after just seven months at Stamford Bridge.
Chelsea have been utterly dominant in the opening 30 minutes of their Premier League clash against Wolves, and have deservedly taken the lead through Tosin Adarabioyo. An unlikely first goalscorer, but 2025 has been very fruitful for the defender at the other end of the pitch.
Brighton want Enciso to sign a new contract first — his current deal expires in June 2026 — but Enciso is reluctant to commit. He was recalled to the starting line-up by Hurzeler in December, following a change of mindset in training.
Tosin Adarabioyo has sent a message to Chelsea fans on social media after their 3-1 victory over Wolves in the Premier League.
Adarabioyo moved to Chelsea over the summer from Fulham in a free transfer. The stopper has battled for a regular start this season, which has led to Brighton making an approach. But the Daily Express says manager Enzo Maresca has dug in his heels and insisted Adarabioyo must stay beyond the January market.
Tottenham Hotspur are considering a move for Chelsea centre-back Tosin Adarabioyo to address their injury crisis.
Chelsea are unwilling to sell Tosin Adarabioyo and instead, Axel Disasi and Renato Veiga are the defenders who could leave West London.
Defenders Trevoh Chalobah and Aaron Anselmino have been recalled from loan spells at Crystal Palace and Boca Juniors respectively this winter. Axel Disasi is understood to be the centre-back most likely to leave Chelsea in order to make room for the pair.
Trevoh Chalobah's return to Chelsea could steady the Blues as they look to solidify their impressive progress this season.
Tosin Adarabioyo and Marc Cucurella scored and Trevoh Chalobah set up another as Stamford Bridge saw a 3-1 win from their Chelsea over Wolverhampton Wanderers.
