Tosin Adarabioyo of Fulham has been extended a contract by Chelsea in an attempt to lure the defender away from Newcastle. The Fulham star has attracted interest from several teams as his contract at Craven Cottage is about to end in the coming weeks. The 26-year-old has been primarily pursued by Eddie Howe's team, who are rumored to have already reached a close deal.

Regardless of who occupies the Stamford Bridge hot seat, the managerless side continues to be active in the market because of the club's structure, which permits sports directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley to control transfer activity. Although the club has not yet announced Mauricio Pochettino's replacement, they seem to be leaning toward selecting Enzo Maresca, the manager of Leicester City. At West London, Tosin could take the empty spot left by Thiago Silva’s departure.
