Chelsea’s first summer signing has just arrived in London to complete his ‘sensational’ move this month after agreement has been reached since last summer- He’s in London signing autographs for the fans- He hopes to meet his new teammates and join them in training immediately after the Euros- Exciting times for the blues

Fulham defender Tosin Adarabioyo has been signed by Chelsea on a free transfer and will join the Blues on a four-year contract. The 26-year-old is.

Having qualified for the Europa Conference League for next season, Adarabioyo, who will join when his contract ends at the end of the month, is said to be moving to play in Europe with Chelsea.

Adarabioyo, a former Manchester City academy centre-back, turned down an opportunity to rank among Fulham’s top paid players in April.

“Chelsea is a big club, and for me this marks a complete circle. Born three miles from Stamford Bridge, I made my professional debut there,” Adarabioyo remarked.

“I’m quite eager and looking forward to assist drive the club in the direction we want to go.”

Coach Bernardo Cueva joins Chelsea in a £750,000 move from Brentford to build a set-piece department, therefore helping them to enhance their record in both attacking and defensive set-ews.

Arriving Adarabioyo might hasten the transfer of Chelsea youth defender Trevoh Chalobah, who is for sale this summer with alleged Manchester United interest.

Additionally leaving Chelsea to rejoin Brazilian team Fluminense is 39-year-old Thiago Silva.

Under great pressure from opponents, Chelsea has secured Adarabioyo.

Manchester United tried to change his mind with a late offer, but he kept his word and had already arranged a movement to Stamford Bridge.

It followed Chelsea’s takeover of Newcastle’s month-long Adarabioyo discussions, with Atletico Madrid also showing interest but unable to compete with Premier League possibilities.

The former Manchester City academy graduate selected Chelsea because of the prospect of a significant role, the opportunity to work with new boss Enzo Maresca again – he had briefly worked with at City – and because of his conviction in the mission.

Chelsea also qualified for Europe before Newcastle.

While both attacking and defending at free-kicks and corners, the Blues’ choice to push the boat out for Adarabioyo is intended to assist improve on a significant weakness at set-balls – using his 6ft 5in size.

From Brentford, Coach Bernardo Cueva will also join to create a new set-piece department aimed at turning around the club’s situation.

Thiago Silva’s absence left a void in the team as well, hence it is expected that Adarabioyo’s ball skills would be valuable.
