In preparation for the departure of 32-year-old defender Joel Matip, Liverpool is focusing on securing a new center back. A variety of players have been mentioned as targets for this summer’s transfer window, when interest in the defender, which has been ongoing since last summer, will be in full swing.
They are also keen on 26-year-old defender Tosin Adarabioyo, who has shown his ability in the Premier League over the past two seasons and has expressed his desire to take advantage of the opportunity to acquire him on a free transfer this summer.
According to HITC, Arsenal and Manchester United have also decided to enter the race for Adarabioyo, and it looks like a fierce battle will unfold, including the possibility of him staying at Fulham.
The Frenchman has made 104 appearances in the Championship and 73 in the Premier League. He has also had a career in the Champions League while at Manchester City and was a regular in the national team up to England U-19.
The 26-year-old center back, who combines height, speed, and skill with the abilities required of a modern center back, showed his potential in the game against Liverpool this season. With consistent performances and no transfer fee, it is no surprise that clubs are interested.
Liverpool is said to prioritize left-handed center backs, and the Fulham defender can fill the former Schalke defender’s position. They are close in style of play and can replace a center back who is six years younger.
However, there are many other candidates for the center back position. All kinds of defenders, right or left-handed, are being mentioned in the media.
So what kind of career will former Manchester City defender Tosin Adarabioyo have in the future?
