French side Marseille is showing strong interest in Chelsea defender Tosin Adarabioyo. However, there are currently no agreements or active negotiations between the clubs, according to journalist Matteo Moretto.
Sources reveal that Chelsea boss Xabi Alonso is counting on Tosin as the experienced defender fits well within his relatively young squad. The 28-year-old has settled in nicely at Stamford Bridge and is content with his role.
Despite Marseille's interest, Moretto notes that circumstances could change dramatically in the final two weeks of the transfer window.
Tosin missed Saturday’s pre-season friendly against Real Sociedad, though it was purely down to squad rotation plans by Alonso, rather than any impending move.
The situation around the defender has garnered extra attention, particularly after his number four jersey was handed to new signing Valentino Barco in the match against Real Sociedad.
