Tosin Adarabioyo

A commanding presence at the back, calm in possession with the ability to break the lines with his forward passing, Tosin made his first start for us against Liverpool in the Carabao Cup on 15 September, having come off the bench for his debut against Everton three days earlier.

Life before Spurs

Born in London, Tosin signed for Manchester City at the age of five, working his way through the ranks to make his senior debut in February, 2016. He picked up valuable experience in the Championship with loans at West Brom in 2018/19 (36 appearances) and Blackburn in 2019/20 (35 appearances) before a permanent switch from City (8 appearances) to Fulham in October, 2020. He made 132 appearances in the next four seasons for the Cottagers, a key member of the team that secured promotion back to the Premier League in 2021/22. Chelsea came calling in July, 2024. He made 41 appearances in all competitions in 2024/25, winning the UEFA Conference League – where he was named in the Team of the Tournament – and the 2025 FIFA Club World Cup. He followed up with 29 appearances last season, captaining the Blues for the first time in October, 2025, to make a total of 70 appearances at Stamford Bridge before his switch from SW6 to N17.

England

On the international stage, Tosin represented England at Under-16, 17, 18 and 19 levels.
