For a while now, Tosin Adarabioyo has been trying to leave Fulham, with only AS Monaco as his desired destination, but Nice-Matin explain what everything is moving so slowly.
Tottenham have also been reported as interested in the defender, as Ange Postecoglou wants more defenders in his squad.
The fact he had to use the unwanted Davinson Sánchez against Brentford said a lot about the state of the squad depth at Spurs, and there is a feeling that needs to change.
The arrival of Micky van de Ven has helped, but there is more work to be done, and the Fulham player could help with that.
This is part of the reason why the Adarabioyo affair has been dragging, regardless of the fact the 25-year-old doesn’t want to stay in London, whether it be at Craven Cottage or Tottenham.
Nice-Matin state that AS Monaco have had an agreement with the player ‘for two weeks’, but the Ligue 1 side are ‘slow to close the deal’.
They explain that the reason for all this is ‘an intermediary chosen’ by Fulham to ‘carry out the transfer’.
The agent ‘would like to send the 25-year-old’ to Tottenham, and is working towards that end irrespective of the player’s wishes.
In these situations, the desire of the player tends to prevail, but it’s worth keeping an eye on it in case something does change.
