Tosin Adarabioyo takes his medical to seal free transfer to Chelsea from Fulham, as new boss Enzo Maresca gets his man ahead of Newcastle

Meanwhile, Fulham claim that they remains in discussions with veteran winger Willian and Bobby De Cordova-Reid.

Former Chelsea star Willian has reportedly drawn interest from a number of clubs in Saudi Arabia heading into the summer transfer window. 

Given the potential exit of both Willian and De Cordova-Reid, the west London side have since been linked with a move for Arsenal's Emile Smith Rowe.

Gunners academy product Smith Rowe, 23, has endured a difficult few seasons after a breakthrough campaign in 2021-22 when he scored 10 Premier League goals. 

The attacking midfielder has made just three Premier League starts since then as he has battled for fitness and form.

Meanwhile, as reported by Mail Sport on Tuesday, departing defender Adarabioyo has been undergoing medicals today ahead of his move to Chelsea.

The Fulham defender will become the first signing of the Enzo Maresca era once he completes formalities of his deal after agreeing to join Chelsea at the weekend.

Newcastle United had been leading the way for the 26-year-old and were close to an agreement, however, Chelsea made an improved proposal at the end of last week and talks advanced quickly.

Adarabioyo knows Chelsea's new boss Maresca from their time together at Manchester City while the fact Chelsea qualified for Europe was an added incentive to the move.
