Tottenham Eye Surprising Move for Chelsea Defender

Tottenham’s Centre-Back Options

Tottenham’s defensive depth has been put to the test this season, especially in central defense.

Injuries to key players Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven, who have made only 12 and nine Premier League appearances respectively, have forced squad players to step up.

Ben Davies has generally performed well but has also faced setbacks, missing 12 matches due to injury.

With his contract expiring in the summer, his long tenure in North London could be coming to an end.

Radu Dragusin has been promoted to the first team due to injuries but has struggled to impress, leaving fans questioning the decision to bring him in.

Meanwhile, Archie Gray has shown promise in the center-back role but is expected to return to his preferred position in midfield next season.

Spurs Eye Tosin Adarabioyo

Given their limited defensive options, Tottenham are exploring new signings.

According to Caught Offside, Chelsea’s Tosin Adarabioyo has emerged as a surprise target.

Adarabioyo impressed during his four seasons at Fulham but has struggled for game time since joining Chelsea last summer, making just 11 Premier League appearances.

However, he recently made an impact by starting and scoring in Chelsea’s match against Wolverhampton Wanderers, bringing his season tally to four goals across all competitions.

Despite Spurs’ interest, Chelsea may hesitate to sell to a direct London rival, complicating any potential deal.

Other Defensive Targets

In addition to Adarabioyo, Spurs are reportedly considering PSG’s Milan Skriniar, who has previously been linked with the club during his time at Inter Milan.

They are also monitoring Fikayo Tomori, a Chelsea academy graduate who has excelled at AC Milan over the past four years.

Skriniar, currently out of favor at PSG, could be a more attainable target, whereas securing Tomori’s services might prove challenging, as Juventus have also expressed interest in the defender.
