According to transfer market expert Ben Jacobs, Tottenham Hotspur has the upper hand over Newcastle United in the pursuit of Tosin Adarabioyo, who reportedly prefers to remain in London for the upcoming season.
Adarabioyo's contract with Fulham is set to expire in the summer, attracting interest from several clubs eager to acquire his experience and skill without any transfer fee.
While Premier League heavyweights Manchester United and Liverpool have been linked with the defender to strengthen their defensive lines, Tottenham has recently rekindled their interest, while Newcastle and AFC Bournemouth's Lloyd Kelly are also potential suitors.
AC Milan, a prominent Italian club, is considering a move for Adarabioyo, but faces tough competition from Premier League clubs for his signature.
Despite Fulham's efforts to secure a new contract for Adarabioyo, the prospect of him extending his stay at Craven Cottage appears slim as the season draws to a close.
Jacobs provided insights into Adarabioyo's situation, suggesting that his preference for staying in London could tilt the scales in Tottenham's favor, although Newcastle remains a potential destination.
Tottenham's advantage in securing the signature of the Super Eagles-eligible center-back is evident, while Fulham continues to harbor hopes of retaining him amidst the uncertainty surrounding his future.
