Centre-back wants to join a team like Spurs, but Wolves are also keen – Journalist reports

Journalist Dean Jones has said that Tottenham Hotspur could face competition from Wolves for Fulham centre-back Tosin Adarabioyo.

It has been well-documented that Tottenham are looking to make wholesale changes at centre-back ahead of Ange Postecoglou’s first season in charge (The Athletic).

The Lilywhites are thought to be prioritising strengthening at left centre-back, with the club expected to choose between Edmond Tapsoba and Micky van de Ven (Fabrizio Romano – CaughtOffside).

However, Alasdair Gold revealed on Football.London at the start of the month that Adarabioyo also remains near the top of Spurs’ wishlist, along with the Leverkusen and Wolfsburg stars.

PA Sport journalist George Sessions even suggested on the Tottenham Way Podcast a couple of days ago that the Lilywhites might pursue the Fulham man instead of Clement Lenglet, given their lack of homegrown options.

Wolves are also looking at Tosin Adarabioyo

Jones has now said that while Adarabioyo wants to make a step up to a club like Spurs, he is also being eyed by Julen Lopetegui’s men.

The journalist told GiveMeSport: “Wolves are going to market in search of at least one centre-back, maybe two depending on how the Kilman situation plays out.

“There is quite a lot of excitement around the rebuild that Lopetegui is looking towards and the foundations need to be in place soon so that the side has a solid look to it for next season.

“The defensive record was a bit of a mess last term, they conceded 14 goals in their final five games of last season and they are looking for some good value players now, ideally with Premier League experience.

“One player that I’ve heard there is a bit of interest in is Tosin Adarabioyo at Fulham. Wolves actually first looked at him a couple of years ago but the player is currently looking for a new club.

“Ideally he is looking for a step up, he wants to join a Tottenham-sized club and those links are already there, but if his top options don’t come through soon then this could become an interesting alternative. It could be one to look out for down the road.”

Spurs Web Opinion

It seems like Tottenham view Adarabioyo as a backup option if moves for their top centre-back targets do not materialise.

While Spurs seem likely to sign one of Tapsoba or Van de Ven for the left centre-back role, I suspect we will see the club prioritise a move for Marc Guehi for the right side.
