The towering 6ft 5in center-back has been a cornerstone of Fulham’s defense since joining in 2020.
With 132 appearances under his belt, Adarabioyo has also contributed five goals and two assists, showcasing his versatility and threat in set-piece situations.
At his peak physical condition, Adarabioyo combines strength, speed, and an imposing presence, making him a perfect fit for the Premier League’s rigorous demands.
Chelsea’s new manager, Enzo Maresca, is eager to integrate Adarabioyo into his plans as he looks to improve upon a challenging 2023/24 campaign.
The Blues finished sixth last season, securing a spot in the Europa Conference League. Maresca’s appointment marks a new chapter for Chelsea, and Adarabioyo’s addition is seen as a pivotal move in fortifying the squad’s defensive line.
Chelsea supporters will be thrilled at the prospect of seeing Adarabioyo don the famous blue jersey. With his medical nearing completion, the anticipation builds for his official unveiling.
As Chelsea aims for a resurgence next season, Adarabioyo’s arrival could be the catalyst for their renewed ambitions.
