News about Tosin Adarabioyo

EXCLUSIVE BY CRAIG HOPE: Newcastle United will be based at the state-of-the-art adidas headquarters in Germany this summer, Notebook can exclusively reveal. To mark the arrival of the sportswear giant as the club's official kit supplier, Eddie Howe and his squad will travel to the £850million World of Sports facility in Herzogenaurach in July. They will then return to the UK before flying to Japan on July 28 for a week-long stay that includes two friendly matches. The Germany trip could also include a game and final details are currently being signed-off. The training camp will feature several commercial activations as Newcastle and adidas embark on a relationship worth around £30m per year to the club.

Manchester United are reportedly interested in hijacking Newcastle's attempts to bring Fulham defender Tosin Adarabioyo (left) to the club once his contract expires at the end of the season. Mail Sport recently revealed that Newcastle are understood to be in pole position for Adarabioyo's signature after opening talks with the central defender.

Newcastle are now clear favourites to land free agent Tosin Adarabioyo this summer. Mail Sport understands the Fulham defender values the ambition of the club and has been impressed by the project presented to him. Talks have taken place over the past week and, while there remains interest from elsewhere, sources have indicated that Newcastle is now his most likely destination.

CRAIG HOPE: Dougie Freedman is down to the final three candidates for the role of Newcastle's sporting director, and Notebook understands he is the preferred choice of some senior figures inside the club. Sources have gone as far to suggest the job is his to turn down, but nothing has yet been agreed. Freedman currently occupies the same position at Crystal Palace and is also wanted by Manchester United. We understand there would be no issue over compensation.

SIMON JONES: Newcastle United are in the race for Tosin Adarabioyo's signature but the Fulham defender has still to commit to a new club. Adarabioyo (pictured left) is out of contract this summer and has informed Fulham he will not sign a new deal with them. He was subsequently left out of their squad to face Crystal Palace last weekend and is expected to be omitted from their final three Premier League squads also.

NOTTINGHAM FOREST 3-1 FULHAM - JOE BERNSTEIN AT THE CITY GROUND: Nottingham Forest earned their biggest victory of the season on Tuesday, with Morgan Gibbs-White as the catalyst, noting the formula to climb from the bottom three. In a tumultuous first half for Forest that had been defeated 5-0 by Fulham earlier this season, Gibbs-White assisted and scored. Forest made a joke of their recent run of one victory in 13 games in all competitions, even though their opponents had scored ten goals in four games, starting the evening out of the relegation zone solely on goal difference.

SIMON JONES: Despite the impasse over his future and his appearances, the 26-year-old, who had been open to leaving at the end of this season, has been a consistent performer for Marco Silva this season, putting him on alert for England manager Gareth Southgate. The centre-back's current contract will expire this summer, and he has been able to speak to foreign clubs since January. He has sparked a number of calls from AC Milan and Marseille, as well as Liverpool, who have all checked in on his progress.

Liverpool is currently monitoring Tosin Adarabioyo ahead of a transfer in the summer, with the Fulham defender potentially available on a free transfer. Since returning to the Premier League last season, Adarabioyo has been one of the Cottagers' top performers.

SIMON JONES: Jurgen Klopp's pending departure, as well as sports director Jorg Schmadtke, has sparked a never ending discussion about how Liverpool will recover. One of the most common comments around Anfield is that it would be a good idea to tempt the club's former sports director Michael Edwards back to a new role. Edwards left Liverpool just over a year ago and was regarded as the brains behind Liverpool's impressive recruiting process. He's since founded Ludonautics, alongside Liverpool's former director of research Ian Graham, who is now working with a Premier League club and forming a Bolton Wanderers partnership last week.

Liverpool lost by a goal down to defeat Fulham 2-1 in the first leg of their League Cup semi-final at a chilly Anfield on Wednesday, with Curtis Jones and Cody Gakpo three minutes apart. After Willian scored in the 19th minute, Fulham threw the record nine-time League Cup champions their first home loss in all competitions this season. Capitalizing on Virgil van Dijk's poor clearance, the Brazilian slotted home from the edge of the six-yard box separating the keeper's legs. Liverpool dominated possession and eventually won the game over Fulham's well-organized back line when Jones netted in the 68th minute, taking a big deflection off the back of Tosin Adarabioyo.

The January transfer window is now open, allowing clubs the opportunity to expand or trim their squads at the midpoint of the season. However, for those players who are in the final six months of their contracts, it also means that they will begin discussions with overseas clubs. The laws provide that they will line up moves to a club in another country for the summer. Given that there are no shortages of Premier League players nearing the end of their current contracts, we could expect a lot of interest this month to look at their next move. Here are a few of the main companies that are in negotiations with foreign clubs right now.

Simon Jones of Mail Sport gives us a detailed rundown of who players each of the Premier League clubs should expect to bring in this January. So many actors could be on their way out during next month's transfer window as well as the actresses who may be on their way out.

Amadou Onana's shocking penalty miss against Fulham in Everton's Carabao Cup quarter-final loss at Goodison Park on Tuesday has gone viral, with a hilarious Arabic translation. The commentator covering Everton's penalty said just one word during the shootout, referring to Onana's name as 'Ohhh na' over and over again. As the Belgian national's fight went from hope to dismay, Onana's shot's pronunciation and emotions changed.

LEWIS STEELE AT GOODISON PARK: Fulham secured their place in the Carabao Cup semi-finals after a thrilling penalty shootout on Tuesday night. Marco Silva's side had taken the lead in the first half thanks to Michael Keane's own goal in the first half before Beto levelled for the hosts in the second half. After Tosin Adarabioyo's strike from the penalty spot to wrap the gun up and send them to the semi-finals, the visitors were guaranteed.

West Ham was contaminated by a sickness virus that had swept through the squad ahead of their 5-0 mauling by Fulham this weekend, with'several players and staff' reported to be affected. Five different scorers from the Cottagers, including Raul Jimenez, Willian, Tosin Adarabioyo, Harry Wilson, and Carlos Vinicius were stunned by the Hammers' defeat at Craven Cottage, as the Hammers' Raul Jimenez, Willian, Tosin Adarabioyo, Harry Wilson, and Carlos Vinicius were all knocked out. It was a surprising result that came after the Hammers' three victories in four games, including a 2-1 victory over Tottenham in the previous game.

KING GERMAN AND THE COTTAGE ROW THRUCK CRAVEN COTTAGE. When the boat carrying West Ham fans arrived in Craven Cottage mistakenly crashed Hammersmith Bridge before kick-off, it made a roaring sound. Fortunately, the Grade II-listed building was strong enough to withstand the blow. The same could not be said for West Ham's defense. There was no steel here to be seen. Only a mangled effort to get their first Premier League away clean sheet of the season. Fulham games come with a promise of goals. The 3-2 victory over Wolves, the 4-3 loss at Liverpool, and Nottingham Forest's humiliation were the 5-0 humiliation. Now this is a trouncing of West Ham that demonstrated the tenacity that is coursing through Marco Silva's staff.

Tottenham Hotspur is reportedly following a Bournemouth player as they continue to expand their squad in the January transfer window. With eight victories from their first ten Premier League matches, Ange Postecoglou's team started the season on a good note. However, they have fallen to fifth place in the table after suffering a string of injuries and suspensions.

The transfer window may be closed for the Premier League, but the Saudi Pro League has still have work to do, as well as clubs in Turkey and Qatar. So although English top flight bosses may have sighed that their squads are finished and settled, there may be some exciting offers from abroad, particularly for Mohamed Salah's likes. The Liverpool star is currently linked to a £200 million transfer to Al-Ittihad, and all rumors are expected to continue until the league's window slams close on September 7.

SIMON JONES: Chelsea center back Sanchez, who missed a penalty in Spurs' Carabao Cup shootout loss to Fulham last night, could leave the club ahead of the looming transfer deadline. Spurs are indeed looking to offload a number of members of their squad, and Sanchez has also shown an interest from Nottingham Forest and Fulham. Mail Sport has recently reported that Ligue 1 side Monaco has also paid their attention to the defender after being refused a bid for Fulham's Tosin Adarabioyo. Spartak Moscow made the offer earlier in the window and Spurs accepted the bid, but only after the transfer was delayed due to Sanchez's unwillingness to make the switch.

Tosin Adarabioyo, a center back for Fulham, will face some rivalry from Monaco. Spurs are ready to loosen the purse strings in an attempt to support new boss Ange Postecoglou after selling Harry Kane to Bayern Munich for £100 million. Adarabioyo, the North London club's central defender, has held talks, but Ligue 1 rival Monaco is also trying to lure the Englishman away from the Premier League.

This week, Tottenham Hotspur winger Brennan Johnson will make his £50 million transfer. Mail Sport revealed last week that the bid, which would include players being sent to Forest, was imminent, and that talks aimed at reaching an agreement before the deadline.

In the wake of Fulham's interest, Tottenham is considering offers for defender Eric Dier. For the first two weeks of the Premier League season, the 29-year-old has been barred from new boss Ange Postecoglou's squad. Fulham's concern in Dier, on the other hand, comes as they hope Tosin Adarabioyo (inset) to leave the club before the transfer window closes.

SIMON JONES: The Ligue 1 team is now eyeing the defender after being rejected in a bid for Fulham's Tosin Adarabioyo, according to Mail Sport earlier this week. Sanchez, 27, is one of the Spurs players who may leave this summer, with manager Ange Postecoglou's reshaping of his squad's first season well underway. Spartak Moscow made a £12.9 million bid for Sanchez earlier this year, and Spurs accepted the bid, but the Colombian was reluctant to move forward. According to news, Galatasaray is one of his other potential suitors. However, Monaco has a definite interest in recruiting another center back after snapping up Mohammed Salisu from Southampton.

MATT BARLOW: The Manchester City farm shop has been brisk once more in the summer season. For the second year in a row, Carlos Borges, Shea Charles to Southampton, and James Trafford to Burnley have all been a mainstay of the market. Academy graduates in the city are paid a large sum. Sometimes without kicking a ball at the high level.
