Newcastle United is on the verge of fending off competition from Manchester United and Chelsea by signing the Nigerian defender Tosin Adarabioyo from Fulham, as per allnigeriasoccer.com.
The 26-year-old Super Eagles defender is expected to join the Magpies as a free agent next month. The move comes as the club seeks to bolster its defense following long-term injuries to Sven Botman and captain Jamaal Lascelles.
Adarabioyo, a product of the Manchester City Academy, has been a standout performer in the Premier League, attracting interest from several top clubs.

However, Newcastle’s proactive approach and the defender’s interest in moving to St. James’ Park have placed them in a strong position to secure his signature.
Despite Fulham’s attempts to retain Adarabioyo with a new contract, the defender has decided against extending his stay in London. His anticipated arrival at Newcastle will not involve any transfer fee, making the deal even more attractive for the Magpies.
