Tottenham and West Ham are both interested in signing Fulham’s central defender, Tosin Adarabioyo. The 26-year-old is set to leave Craven Cottage when his contract expires this summer. Monaco had previously discussed a potential deal for Adarabioyo, but they were unable to reach an agreement with Fulham, leading to the player’s decision to seek a new club.

Fulham had received a bid of around £4.2 million from Monaco last summer for Adarabioyo but deemed it insufficient. Despite the interest from other clubs, Fulham opted to retain him for the final year of his contract in the hope of securing his long-term commitment. However, they have faced challenges with other defensive players, such as Micky van de Ven’s hamstring issues and the recruitment of Radu Dragusin from Genoa.

In addition to Adarabioyo, Fulham is also working to extend the contract of Bobby De Cordova-Reid, with ongoing negotiations between the club and the players’ representatives. Manager Marco Silva has expressed the club’s desire to keep both players and affirmed their efforts to reach an agreement.
