Adarabioyo favours a move to Newcastle over Chelsea as Howe also wants Olise

Beautiful bride Tosin Adarabioyo whose contract with Fulham expires in June and has many suitors dreaming of free marriage will prefer a move to Newcastle United as against Chelsea and Manchester United.

In a recent report, The Daily Mail claimed that Adarabioyo favours a move to Newcastle United this summer. It is understood that the English centre-back might fancy a move to the Tyneside club as he wants to work under a coach like Eddie Howe.

Adarabioyo has been a decent performer at the heart of the Fulham backline during this campaign. The English talent has participated in 25 matches for the Cottagers this season, scoring two goals in multiple competitions.

The 26-year-old has been a dominant presence when defending inside his half as he is averaging 1.1 tackles, 1.3 interceptions, and 4.0 clearances per game in the Premier League. He has even been tidy when distributing possession from the back after completing 84.7% of his attempted passes in the English top tier (stats via whoscored).

His current contract at the London club will run out at the end of this season which could open the door for the Magpies to sign him on a free transfer later this year.

At 26, the Fulham star’s peak years are ahead of him. Hence, Chelsea and Manchester United are also interested in signing him.

Newcastle are also rekindling interest in Crystal Palace forward Michael Olise.

Competition is rising for the 22-year-old who, though valued at £60million, has a clause in his contract that can be triggered this summer.

The France U21 international was pursued by Chelsea and Paris St Germain last year and wants to play Champions League football when he leaves Palace.

Manchester United, City, Arsenal, and Liverpool all rate Olise, and key for him in his choice of next club will be regular game time to continue his upward career path.

Newcastle are making a late push to qualify for Europe themselves and will hope the ambition of their project can help convince Olise they are serious contenders.

They have also considered Nico Williams at Athletic Bilbao and Pedro Neto of Wolves but there are concerns over the latter's injury record.

Olise, who has been on Newcastle's radar since he was at Reading, has had to deal with niggling injuries himself but has returned to top form in recent weeks.

Newcastle already have Anthony Gordon and Harvey Barnes among their ranks but still believe there is plenty of scope to incorporate Olise as well as hold on to striker Alexander Isak.

Howe's side remains in the market for Arsenal goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale and free agent defenders Lloyd Kelly of Bournemouth and Adarabioyo from Fulham.
