AC Milan Consider January Swoop for Chelsea Defender Adarabioyo

As Chelsea look to trim their squad this January, Italian giants AC Milan are reportedly eyeing a move for defender Tosin Adarabioyo. The potential transfer bears similarities to Fikayo Tomori’s successful switch to the San Siro.

Chelsea find themselves needing to offload players this transfer window, with several squad members struggling for playing time. Ben Chilwell has seen a dramatic fall from vice-captain to outcast, while young talents like Carney Chukwuemeka require minutes to aid their development.

According to reports, AC Milan have expressed interest in signing Adarabioyo, who only joined Chelsea last summer but has failed to secure regular starts. At 27 years old, the defender is in his prime and needs consistent playing time.

Adarabioyo’s potential move to Milan could mirror Tomori’s transfer, which proved highly successful for both player and club. With Trevoh Chalobah returning from loan, Adarabioyo may find himself further down the pecking order at Chelsea.

Former Fulham manager Marco Silva previously praised Adarabioyo as a “special player” and key dressing room leader. A move to AC Milan could offer the defender a chance to rediscover his best form and fulfill his potential.

With the transfer window closing in just over two weeks, Adarabioyo’s situation will be one to monitor closely if Milan decide to pursue their interest.
