Chelsea have officially confirmed the signing of Tosin Adarabioyo, as the 26-year-old joined Chelsea as a free agent from Fulham.

Tosin Adarabioyo is expecting to do great at Chelsea, and has revealed he spoke with Raheem Sterling and Cole Palmer before joining the club.

“I spent two or three years with Raz and Willy, and I spent most of my youth journey with Cole,” Tosin said.

“Before confirming the move, I gave Raz and Cole a call and they had nothing but positive things to say about the club and the project, and how excited they were that I was coming to the club.

“Cole is younger than me but I remember him from younger days alongside a few of the other boys that I’ve met along the way like Ben Chilwell – Chilly and I were both captains in the FA Youth Cup semi-finals.

“I also know Trevoh Chalobah and Armando Broja because he spent time at Fulham.”

He added: “I’ve developed leaps and bounds.

“I’ve become a man and established myself as a top Premier League centre-half. That’s why I’ve joined Chelsea.

“Being a leader comes to me naturally. It’s something that is required of a centre-half. It’s an important responsibility. I want to come here and push the boys on as much as we can.”
