Chelsea centre-back Tosin Adarabioyo has struggled to make an impression for Enzo Maresca, but with Brighton seeking to sign the former Fulham star, he could give the club’s bank balance a huge boost.

Speculation over Tosin's future comes at a time when Chelsea have decided to recall fellow defender Trevoh Chalobah from his loan spell at Crystal Palace. It is claimed that Chalobah has been assured by Chelsea that he will start matches under Maresca during the second half of this season, potentially raising doubts over Tosin's future game time.

This one comes from the Daily Mail, so take it with as many grains of salt as you’d like, but they claim in an exclusive that Brighton & Hove Albion are interested in signing Tosin Adarabioyo from Chelsea and are “keen on trying to tempt” the 27-year-old away after just seven months at Stamford Bridge.
