Now that Tosin Adarabioyo has officially joined Chelsea, the 26-year-old defender is excited to start a new chapter in his career with the Blues. Despite interest from other clubs such as Manchester United and Liverpool, Adarabioyo was influenced by two current Chelsea stars who spoke highly of the club and the project, ultimately helping him make the decision to sign with Stamford Bridge.
Snubs interest from Manchester United and Liverpool
One of the most interesting aspects of Adarabioyo’s transfer to Chelsea is the fact that he snubbed interest from top Premier League clubs like Manchester United and Liverpool. Despite late attempts from Manchester United to hijack the transfer, Adarabioyo was convinced by his conversations with his former Manchester City teammates at Chelsea to make the move to west London.
Another key detail is the confidence Adarabioyo has in his abilities to fill the void left by the departure of Thiago Silva at Chelsea. He sees himself as a top Premier League centre-half and is eager to bring his leadership qualities to the team as they aim to play good football and win games under the guidance of new head coach, Enzo Maresca.
Raheem Sterling and Cole Palmer convinced Adarabioyo to join Chelsea
There’s no denying the influence of current Chelsea stars Raheem Sterling and Cole Palmer on Tosin Adarabioyo’s decision to reject offers from Manchester United and Liverpool in favor of joining the Blues. Adarabioyo revealed that he sought advice from his former Manchester City teammates before making his final decision, and their glowing recommendations about Chelsea’s project and club environment played a key role in his choice.
Adarabioyo’s connections to other Chelsea players and staff
Palmer, who Adarabioyo fondly remembers from his younger days at Manchester City, is just one of the familiar faces the defender will encounter at Chelsea. Plus, Adarabioyo also has existing relationships with Chelsea players like Ben Chilwell, Trevoh Chalobah, and Armando Broja, as well as coach Willy Caballero from their time together at Etihad Stadium and Fulham.
