Tosin Adarabioyo

[THFCSPURS19]

Makes sense to me.

Davinson is probably on his way out --> aged 27, 1 year left --> replace with a younger, HG option that had a pretty good season. Can still improve, especially in a better side. I like it personally for the right price

 

[Chello90]

90% of the players we're linked to HG, I hope once/if we get Raya & Maddison over the line then new links from other leagues will start to appear.

So many top CBs we should be look to recruit: Antonio Silva, Scalvini, Inacio, Medina, Lukeba, Tapsoba, Hincapie, Timber, Torres etc.

Not a player I'd really noticed but after five minutes on Google I am now an authority on him.

Interesting option. I wonder of this is one of the players we're looking at because of the data?

 

[kd2000]

He has stood out when I have seen him playing for the under age england teams. Good physically, not sure about his positioning etc

 

[snakehipsspurs]

Sanchez & Dier (both non-HG) out, Adarabioyo (HG) in as second RCB behind Romero sounds like smart business to me.

Was a very cool head in a Fulham defence that invited lots of pressure on itself. Lots of praise has (rightly) gone to Leno for his role in their overperformance of their underlying defensive numbers, but Tosin also played a big roll with his calm presence, lack of mistakes and dominance in the air. Cut out so many dangerous attacks and that Fulham defense was basically under constant barrage.

Crucially he's a City academy boy too, so has a good understanding of the style we're looking at playing. Even pre-Pep, Txiki Begiristain and Patrick Viera were instilling modern, progressive tactics at youth level.

His positioning and reading of the game is what has stood out to me when watching him this season, seems to be in the right place an awful lot. I quite rate him tbh, with a year left if we got him for a decent fee i think it’s good business. Especially if we’re looking to move on the likes of Dier and Sanchez, someone like Tosin who’s a good player and home grown for a modest fee would be a good way to replace them. I actually have been more impressed with this guy this season than I have Guehi

 

[spursfan77]

Quite a steady Eddie. Not entirely convincing every time I’ve seen him play for Fulham but not worse than Dier or Sanchez. We should be aiming higher though really but we need such churn at centre back it’s fair enough that he’s being looked at. I quite like the Fulham fullbacks actually.

 

[Cochise]

For one so young he looks like he reads the game very well.

 

[fishhhandaricecake]

Not full on ITK in terms of direct links to us @Archibald&Crooks @Rob but I know someone who works at Fulham who thinks/says it is very likely Adarabioyo will leave this summer given it’s his final year of his contract and he knows his agent has been talking to clubs(PL preference but also talking to foreign clubs) to assess his options so sounds likely he will be leaving this summer, the question is where and if that is to us or not. We could offer better wages than foreign clubs but might come down to proposed game time etc. (Same source I gave years back saying we were in for R.Sessengon).

Fwiw I think he’ll suit Ange’s tactics well.

 

[mr ashley]

I like him and as a hg option he’s worth exploring.
however one cb I’d really like us to go for is Jean -clair todibo at nice.

 

[Snarfalicious]

Let’s send Ryan Sessegnon home.

 

[eddiev14]

The media really do like to tosin links to random players…

(Is he any good?)

 

[MunkoSpurs]

I haven't been able to watch many other teams games throughout the course of the season but I happened to watch a few of Fulham's matches as the season drew to a close and he really stood out. I wondered if a bigger club would be interested in him.

Physically big and strong, good in the air, quick and good 1 v 1 and decent on the ball. Everything you could want from a CB.

I hadn't really heard of him before so it's interesting reading about his City history, HG status, etc. Perhaps he'll be suited to a high pressing system.

I think (hope) I speak for many that if we signed a HG option like him or Guehi, followed by someone like Laporte or Ibanez than that would be a great first window of intent to start fresh with new CBs. Fingers crossed, but sure we will be linked to 15 others as well haha

He’s 26 in September, not sure why people are saying he’s young

Yeah but we can’t just sign worldies, I would be happy to see lesser players gelled into a functioning team and see a general upgrade of the squad as a whole

Anyone under 50 is young to me.

I've always liked you, Paul.

He’s moved from the young to good age category
