Chelsea have confirmed that Fulham centre back Tosin Adarabioyo will join them on a free transfer in July.

The 26 year-old, who played 129 games for the Whites in four years at Craven Cottage, becomes Enzo Maresca’s first signing and has put pen to paper on a four-year contract.

He told Chelsea’s official website:

“Chelsea is a huge club and this is a full-circle moment for me. I was born three miles away from Stamford Bridge and made my professional debut there. I’m very excited and looking forward to helping push the club in the direction we want to go.”
