Chelsea FC defender Tosin Adarabioyo is reportedly close to leaving Stamford Bridge, with Marseille and Benfica interested in signing the 28-year-old centre-back.
What's behind the transfer speculation?
The interest in Adarabioyo comes after Chelsea FC confirmed the arrival of French international defender Maxence Lacroix from Crystal Palace this summer, which has pushed Adarabioyo to the periphery of Xabi Alonso's squad.
How does this affect Chelsea FC's squad?
With the new season approaching, Chelsea FC is looking to reshape their squad after a summer of high activity, and Adarabioyo's potential departure could be a key part of that process, as the Blues look to build on their 6th place finish in the Premier League last season, with 48 points from 32 games, and a recent form of LLLWL.
What's next for Adarabioyo?
It remains to be seen which move the Englishman currently favours, but with Marseille and Benfica both showing interest, it seems likely that Adarabioyo will be leaving Chelsea FC before the end of the summer transfer window, as the club sits 22 points behind leaders Arsenal, with 53 goals scored and 41 conceded, giving them a +12 goal difference
