Tottenham are stepping up talks with Fulham for\u00a0centre back Tosin Adarabioyo but will face some competition from French side AS Monaco.\u00a0<\/p>\n
After selling Harry Kane to Bayern Munich for \u00a3100m, Spurs are prepared to loosen the purse strings in a bid to back new manager Ange Postecoglou.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Tottenham have already brought in James Maddison from Leicester for \u00a340m and Wolfsburg defender Micky van de Ven for \u00a334.5m, but have set their sights on further defensive reinforcements.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Central defender Adarabioyo has held talks with the north London club, but Ligue 1 side Monaco are also looking to lure the Englishman away from the Premier League.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Tosin\u00a0Adarabioyo has been a regular in defence for Fulham since joining from Manchester City<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Spurs are investing in manager Ange Postecoglou’s squad after a strong start to the season<\/p>\n
Adarabioyo came through the Manchester City academy and spent time on loan at Championship sides West Brom and Blackburn.\u00a0<\/p>\n
He joined Fulham in 2020 and has gone on to make 108 appearances for the Cottagers, chipping in with three goals from the back.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Monaco are looking to replace Axel Disasi after his \u00a338.7m move to Chelsea this summer, and view the 25-year-old as the ideal man for the job.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fellow French side OGC Nice are also reportedly keeping tabs on\u00a0Adarabioyo with Edmond Tapsoba linked to Manchester United.\u00a0<\/p>\n
However Fulham are reportedly more keen to sell to fellow London club Spurs as they are offering Eric Dier in return.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Dier is yet to feature in any of Tottenham’s Premier League squads so far this year so it doesn’t seem he will play much of a part in Ange Postecoglou’s side going forward.\u00a0<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Adarabioyo has found consistent minutes under current Fulham manager Marco Silva’s system<\/p>\n
