Chelsea have confirmed the signing of defender Tosin Adarabioyo on a four-year deal, marking their first acquisition of the summer transfer window. Adarabioyo joins on a free transfer from Fulham after passing his medical. The defender expressed his excitement about joining Chelsea, describing it as a 'full-circle moment' as he was born near Stamford Bridge and made his professional debut there. He aims to help push the club in the desired direction. The move is part of new head coach Enzo Maresca's efforts to strengthen the squad. Adarabioyo's decision was influenced by positive feedback from Chelsea players Raheem Sterling and Cole Palmer. Notably, Adarabioyo rejected a move to Newcastle to join Chelsea.
