Tottenham hold talks with Fulham for highly-rated home ground defender amid £15m bid
Tottenham eyeing Fulham’s Tosin Adarabioyo as search for a new centre-back continues.
Tottenham have turned their attention to Fulham’s Tosin Adarabioyo as they look to plug the hole in the centre of their defence.
The Lilywhitesa are looking to add a defender that will compete with Cristian Romero and Ben Davies especially now that Clement Lenglet has returned to Barcelona and a new deal has not been agreed upon.
There have been talks going for Manchester UnitedHarry Maguire, the England defender however will not come cheap given his wages. Newly appointed Tottenham boss Ange Postecoglou is quite keen on a new centre-back who can pass and defend in equally.
The 25-year-old first cut his teeth with Manchester City before stints at Black Burn and West Brom landed him at Fulham where he’s held his own in the Premier League and proven that a player can still excel outside Manchester City.
Last season he managed 25 games in all competitions and scored one goal for Marco Silva’s side. He is entering the final 12 months of his contract which will make him quite approachable as one team wants to lose players for nothing.
Tottenham have already bagged Guglielmo Vicario as the long-term replacement for long-serving Hugi Lloris and will now look to strengthen other team parts before next season.
They finished a disappointing eight in the Premier League, the first time since 2010 that they will not be involved in any kind of European football but the appointment of Ange Postecoglou has somewhat promised hope that the team could return tot its foundation and play the kind of football that will excite the fans and eventually get them back to Europe.

Report: Newcastle want to sign £35m Premier League defender
The latest reports are suggesting that Newcastle want to make a move for Fulham defender Antonee Robinson this summer.
According to the The Evening Standard, Newcastle have now joined Premier League champions Manchester City in the transfer race for the left-back.
In a potential boost for the Magpies, Robinson is apparently refusing to sign a new deal at Fulham.
The latest reports are suggesting that Newcastle want to make a move for Fulham defender Antonee Robinson this summer.
According to the The Evening Standard, Newcastle have now joined Premier League champions Manchester City in the transfer race for the left-back.
In a potential boost for the Magpies, Robinson is apparently refusing to sign a new deal at Fulham.
Newcastle want Antonee Robinson
What is very interesting about Newcastle’s pursuit of Robinson is the fact that Fulham have reportedly already identified Fiorentina defender Igor as a possible replacement.
With the left-back experienced and playing to a good level in the Premier League, he seems like a very good option for the Magpies.
Due to their Champions League qualification, Newcastle will be playing a lot more fixtures. Therefore, they need to make sure they have a strong 25-man squad.
The USA international is still only 25-years-old as well. He would be a great asset for the club for the present and the future.
Robinson recently recently helped his country win the CONCACAF Nations League trophy.
The only issue in this deal is the price. The reported £35million seems very steep for a player who has only one year left on his contract.
The Premier League definitely has inflated prices so it is worth wondering whether the Magpies should look elsewhere.
