Monaco are allegedly among a number of notable European clubs who are keen on signing Fulham defender Tosin Adarabioyo.

Fulham defender Tosin Adarabioyo is reportedly attracting interest from a number of European football's top clubs.

During his youth days at Manchester City, Adarabioyo was highly-regarded at the Etihad Stadium and tipped to eventually make the step up into the first team.

However, despite making eight appearances in cup competitions, City made the decision to cash in on the centre-back after he had impressed on loan at West Bromwich Albion and Blackburn Rovers.

Since making the switch to Craven Cottage for £2m in October 2020, Adarabioyo has established himself as a key player, making 90 starts and three substitute outings in all competitions.

Twelve of those starts have come in the Premier League this season, the 25-year-old playing his part in Fulham challenging for European qualification.

Nevertheless, according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, Adarabioyo is not certain to see out the season in West London.

Romano says that Adarabioyo is open to departing Fulham for the right opportunity during the January transfer window.

The former England Under-19 international has less than 18 months remaining on his contract, effectively leaving all parties at somewhat of a crossroads with regards to the next phase of his career.

Monaco are allegedly one of a number of teams who are contemplating whether to make a formal offer for Adarabioyo over the next nine days.

The Ligue 1 outfit have money to spend after recently cashing in on the services of Benoit Badiashile, who has moved to Chelsea for a reported £32.7m fee.

While Adarabioyo would not command the same price-tag, Fulham may insist on generating a sizable chunk of that fee if they are to part ways with a player who allegedly has other admirers.

Monaco currently find themselves five points adrift of the Champions League places, but beat Ajaccio by a 7-1 scoreline in their most recent fixture.

Adarabioyo is still expected to feature in the Fulham squad for Monday's Premier League fixture with Tottenham Hotspur.
