Olympique de Marseille are among a number of clubs interested in signing Chelsea defender Tosin Adarabioyo (28) before the end of the summer transfer window, according to a report from Sky Sports. Interest in the former Fulham centre-back is thought to be high as a move away from Stamford Bridge looks increasingly likely. 

The Englsh defender has found himself on the preriphary of Xabi Alonso’s squad after another highly active recruitment drive from the West London club. Chelsea have confirmed the arrival of French international defender Maxence Lacroix (26) from Crystal Palace this summer. Adarabioyo was absent from the Premier League club’s squad to face Real Sociedad in their final preseason friendly before the new season begins.

OM are not the only club interested in signing the 28-year-old before the close of the summer window. Benfica have also registered an interest in the centre-back. It remains to be seen which move to Englishman currently favours.
