While discussing the future of rumoured Tottenham target Tosin Adarabioyo, journalist Ben Jacobs has said that the centre-back is happy in London, which potentially gives Spurs an advantage in the race.
Adarabioyo is expected to be quite sought after this summer since the centre-back’s current deal at Fulham expires in June.
Tottenham are thought to be one of the clubs on the 26-year-old’s trail, with Football.London’s Alasdair Gold claiming earlier this month that the Lilywhites are ready to step up their pursuit of the player.
Gold revealed that the defender is willing to make a move to the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and is not put off by the prospect of competing with Crsitian Romero, Micky van de Ven and Radu Dragusin for a place in the starting eleven.
However, Spurs are expected to face plenty of competition for the Englishman, with Manchester United (TEAMtalk) and Newcastle United (Sheilds Gazette) also thought to be keen on him.

Jacobs has now said that while the future of the centre-back remains unclear, he is thought to be quite settled in the capital.

When asked about Newcastle’s interest in Adarabioyo, the journalist told GiveMeSport: “We don’t know yet where Adarabioyo’s head lies. I’ve always been told that he’s quite happy in London, and Fulham will push to get him to extend. So that one’s not a given, and there’s not yet any indication whether he would pick Newcastle should an offer arrive.”

The London factor might give Tottenham an advantage over other suitors in the race for Adarabioyo but it is also quite possible that the player and his agent are using the interest of Spurs and other clubs to get a more lucrative contract from Fulham.
