French top-flight leaders AS Monaco are targeting “exceptional” English centre-back Tosin Adarabioyo. The 25-year-old plays for Fulham and has made 100 appearances for the Cottagers. This interest has been reported by Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano.

Monaco Return for Tosin Adarabioyo
According to Romano, the negotiations between the two clubs have already begun. This is Monaco’s second attempt to sign Adarabioyo from Fulham. The first pursuit of the Englishman did not turn up any success, so the Ligue 1 club have returned to continue their pursuit of the Englishman.

Before a deal for Adarabioyo is made, Romano mentions that Monaco will complete the transfer of Folarin Balogun.
Tottenham Interest and Fulham Departures
Adarabioyo is receiving attention from another club in London. Tottenham Hotspur have been linked to the 25-year-old. Sources admit that Monaco are leading the race for his services, but his potential addition to Ange Postecoglou’s squad would seemingly make Tottenham a more threatening team.

Should Adarabioyo go to play in France, he would be the latest player to leave Craven Cottage. Aleksandar Mitrovic, a prolific Serbian goal scorer, left for Saudi club Al-Hilal earlier this summer. Likewise, Manor Solomon, a rising force for the Israeli national team, finished his loan with Fulham and subsequently signed for Tottenham.
What Qualities Adarabioyo Will Bring to Monaco
The Englishman is comfortable on the ball, excelling when passing, and will be a valuable asset in Ligue 1. He is also not afraid to put his foot in, adding some much-needed steel to the Monaco backline. The French club conceded 58 league goals last season, which was the most in the top ten, so Adarabioyo would be a welcome addition.
