• Chelsea interested in soontobe free agent Tosin Adarabioyo from Fulham
• Competition from top clubs like Tottenham, Newcastle, AS Monaco and Milan
• 'Blues' looking to strengthen defense with departure of Thiago Silva

Premier League giants Chelsea have shown interest in signing Fulham defender Tosin Adarabioyo, who is set to become a free agent this summer. The Nigerianeligible player has attracted attention from various clubs across Europe including Tottenham Hotspur, Newcastle United, AS Monaco and Milan.

With the impending departure of veteran centerback Thiago Silva at the end of the season, Chelsea are keen on bolstering their defensive options. Despite missing some games due to injury earlier in the campaign, Adarabioyo has been impressive for Fulham this season with solid performances and two goals.

The competition for his signature is fierce as European clubs like AS Monaco can offer him a precontract agreement while financial constraints may hinder Newcastle United's pursuit. It remains uncertain where he will play next season but one thing is certain there will be no shortage of suitors vying for his services.
