Chelsea Make Adarabioyo First Summer Signing
Chelsea have completed the signing of Tosin Adarabioyo on a free transfer from Fulham.
Adarabioyo has signed a four-year contract at Stamford Bridge.
The 26-year-old is new Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca's first signing.
Adarabioyo made 132 appearances for Fulham after joining from Manchester City in July 2020.
After signing for the Blues, Tosin said: ‘Chelsea is a huge club and this is a full-circle moment for me. I was born three miles away from Stamford Bridge and made my professional debut there.
'I’m very excited and looking forward to helping push the club in the direction we want to go.’
Co-sporting directors Paul Winstanley and Laurence Stewart said: ‘We are delighted to bring Tosin to Chelsea. Throughout his career, he has showcased his maturity and defensive qualities and has gained a wealth of experience in the Premier League in recent seasons.
'He is ready to make the step up to Chelsea and work alongside the talented players in our squad. We look forward to Tosin joining up with us for pre-season.’
Adarabioyo is a former England youth international but is eligible to play for Nigeria.
Chelsea finished sixth in the Premier League last season and will play in the Europa Conference League next term.
