The significance of defender Tosin Adarabioyo at Stamford Bridge has been highlighted by Chelsea head coach Enzo Maresca. Following the Italian’s appointment as the team’s new manager, Chelsea was being linked to a high-priced group of players. Adarabioyo, on the other hand, chose to leave Fulham and sign a free transfer with their West London rivals, making him the first acquisition of the summer transfer season.
Considering that Adarabioyo had previously played for several years at Craven Cottage, this deal may not have been what many Chelsea supporters had hoped for. However, despite initially finding himself without much of an opportunity in the Premier League, the 27-year-old is now proving to be a wise buy.
Enzo Maresca hails hopeful Tosin Adarabioyo
In a press conference on Friday, prior to Chelsea’s Premier League match against Brighton & Hove Albion, Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca took the opportunity to commend Nigerian prospect Tosin Adarabioyo. Maresca did not hold back in recognizing the center-back’s potential. The 27-year-old defender, who joined Chelsea this summer, has been drawing attention with his performances.
In response to a question concerning Tosin’s progress at Chelsea, Maresca showed his respect for the player, whom he was familiar with from their period together at Manchester City. Maresca told the media, “I’m very impressed.” I have known Tosin since City, and I have always found him to be rather impressive, particularly with his conduct both on and off the field. We are thrilled and quite content with him because he is one of the leaders in the shifting area.
