26-year-old keen to join Newcastle United this summer because of Eddie Howe

Newcastle United’s pursuit of central defender Tosin Adarabioyo from Fulham has stirred excitement amongst supporters.

According to Craig Hope’s report in The Mail, Tosin Adarabioyo is inclined to join the Magpies this summer, drawn by the prospect of working under Eddie Howe and the enticing opportunity for regular game time and a potential appearance in European competition next season.

The towering presence of Adarabioyo, standing at 6ft 5′ inches, coupled with Howe’s reputation for player development, presents an alluring proposition for both the player and the club.

With stalwarts like Jamaal Lascelles and Sven Botman sidelined due to ACL injuries, Adarabioyo could seamlessly fit into the heart of Newcastle’s defence, providing stability and strength in a fragile position for the club.

Tosin Adarabioyo would be smart transfer business for Newcastle United this summer

Adarabioyo has a flurry of offers from both Premier League clubs and overseas suitors. However, the allure of Newcastle United seems to be gaining traction, especially given the promise of European football looming on the horizon.

Considering Newcastle’s precarious stance in terms of Financial Fair Play regulations, it would be a huge piece of business if the Magpies could land a tried and tested Premier League level defender without having to spend a transfer fee on the 26-year-old.

The Nigerian international has accumulated over 120 appearances for the Cottagers, but after four seasons at the club it looks as though he will depart this summer.
