86/100 TPI Very likely Chelsea are working to move Adarabioyo on before Tuesday's deadline, and Tottenham have opened talks as a contingency plan if Kevin Danso completes his own exit. Updated 31 August 2026 Financial viability24 / 25 Buying club need12 / 20 Player motivation11 / 15 Selling club incentive20 / 20 Market momentum14 / 20 Financial viability24 / 25 Adarabioyo carries a €16m market value, a small fraction of Tottenham's €672.6m annual revenue. His reported £120,000 a week wage at Chelsea sits comfortably below Omar Marmoush's £250,000 a week as Tottenham's top earner. Tottenham's projected Squad Cost Ratio sits at 68%, well inside the Premier League's 85% threshold for 2026-27. His contract runs to 30 June 2028, giving Chelsea two more years to sell for a fee rather than lose him for nothing. Buying club need12 / 20 Roberto De Zerbi has confirmed Kevin Danso asked to leave the club, with Sunderland showing firm interest in signing him. Tottenham currently carry six senior centre backs, including summer arrival Jan Paul van Hecke, Micky van de Ven, Marcos Senesi, Kota Takai and Ben Davies. Adarabioyo turns 29 in September and would add Premier League and Champions League experience to a defence already reshaped this summer. Player motivation11 / 15 Adarabioyo has not featured in any of Chelsea's three competitive matches under Xabi Alonso this season, despite the manager using a back three. He made just 16 Premier League appearances last season and has fallen well behind Chelsea's other centre backs in the pecking order. A move to Tottenham would put him back in regular first team contention after a season on the periphery at Stamford Bridge. Selling club incentive20 / 20 Chelsea have already sold Trevoh Chalobah, Axel Disasi and Benoit Badiashile this summer, with Mykhailo Mudryk also being pushed toward a loan exit. Adarabioyo sits behind Wesley Fofana, Levi Colwill and Jorrel Hato in Chelsea's centre back pecking order. Adarabioyo joined on a free transfer in 2024, so any fee Chelsea recoup now would go straight to the bottom line. Market momentum14 / 20 Fabrizio Romano reported that Tottenham are working on a deal to sign Adarabioyo, with talks opened between the two London clubs. Romano also reported there is a serious chance Adarabioyo leaves Chelsea in the final hours of the window. The move comes with the Premier League transfer deadline set for Tuesday, 1 September. The verdict86 / 100 Chelsea are actively trimming their centre back options and Adarabioyo has been frozen out under Xabi Alonso, which is why the move sits in Very likely, but Tottenham have only opened talks and no fee has been agreed. It happens if Danso completes his exit to Sunderland and Chelsea and Tottenham agree a fee before Tuesday's deadline. It dies if Danso stays at Tottenham after all, or if Manchester United's late interest turns into a firm competing bid.Hence then, the article about is tosin adarabioyo signing for tottenham spurs tipped to further strengthen with chelsea defender football whispers index score was published today ( ) and is available on Football Whispers ( Middle East ) The editorial team at PressBee has edited and verified it, and it may have been modified, fully republished, or quoted.
