The Englishman is a centre-back target for Tottenham.
Tottenham Hotspur seriously face missing out on Fulham defender Tosin Adarabioyo as he is “very close” to joining AS Monaco, according to reports.
Spurs manager Ange Postecoglou and chairman Daniel Levy are chasing multiple senior centre-back signings, following a Premier League campaign which saw them leak 63 goals against.
No other side above 15th in the table conceded more than that last term, making defence a top priority for Tottenham as we head into the final stretch of this window

The Lilywhites have been linked with many central defensive options in the last month, perhaps most notably Wolfsburg’s Micky van de Ven, Edmond Tapsoba of Bayer Leverkusen, Fulham’s Adarabioyo, Barcelona ace Clement Lenglet, Galatasary’s Victor Nelsson and Juventus defender Gleison Bremer.
Postecoglou, speaking to the media candidly in recent weeks, even confirmed that the signing of a new defender or two is something his new club are working on behind-the-scenes.
“In terms of the other boys, we’ve got a big squad but my view is I wanted to bring them along and just work with them, get some clarity in my head and give clarity to them.”
Whites defender Adarabioyo has been central to rumours linking him with a north London move in recent weeks, with reliable media sources like Alasdair Gold claiming Tottenham are expected to bid.
Gold also added that the former Man City starlet is keen on a move to Spurs, but according to Foot Mercato, he is actually nearing another club.
