According to journalist Santi Aouna, Monaco are ‘close to an agreement’ to sign Tosin Adarabioyo from Fulham and could be set to beat Tottenham Hotspur to the signing within the next week.
It is well known that Tottenham struggled defensively last season, and as such, new boss Ange Postecoglou is very keen to bring in reinforcements for the centre of his defence this summer (90 Min).
So far during the current transfer window, Edmond Tapsoba and Micky van de Ven have been the names most strongly linked with a move to North London.
The Bundesliga pair have been cited as perfect examples of the kind of centre-half that would work in Spurs’ system (Football.London).
However, with big talent, comes a big price tag. Understandably, Spurs have also been linked with more moderately-priced centre-backs, with Fulham’s Tosin Adarabioyo a player who is thought to be on Postecoglou’s radar (Alasdair Gold for Football.London). Just last week, Foot Mercato reported that French side Monaco may have moved ahead of Tottenham in the race for Adarabioyo’s signature.
