Tottenham and Chelsea negotiate potential transfer for defender Tosin Adarabioyo

Tottenham are in discussions with Chelsea regarding the acquisition of defender Tosin Adarabioyo before the summer transfer window closes. Adarabioyo has been excluded from the Chelsea squad under manager Xabi Alonso. Fabrizio Romano reported that talks are active, though the deal remains in early stages and is contingent on Tottenham successfully offloading Kevin Danso. Chelsea are simultaneously working on other squad adjustments, including a potential move for Robert Sanchez to Como following the addition of Emi Martinez at Stamford Bridge. With under 36 hours remaining before the window shuts, the clubs are accelerating efforts to finalize these outgoing personnel moves. There is no official agreement in place yet between the two London clubs for the defender.
