Chelsea working on Tosin exit before transfer deadline

Chelsea are exploring a potential exit for defender Tosin Adarabioyo before the transfer deadline as they aim to trim their squad. The center-back has lost his place in the first team under newly appointed head coach Xabi Alonso and has not featured in any Premier League squads this season. Several clubs, including those in the top flight and others like Marseille and Benfica, have shown interest in the 28-year-old.

Benfica, managed by Marco Silva—who previously worked with Adarabioyo at Fulham—could be a strong contender. According to reports from Fabrizio Romano, there is a strong possibility that the defender could leave in the final hours of the window, with negotiations for a transfer currently underway. The Blues are also targeting the offloading of other surplus players, with Mykhailo Mudryk set to depart on loan, fulfilling Mudryk's desire to stay in the Premier League.
