Fulham defender Tosin Adarabioyo is understood to favour a move to Newcastle United this summer as the centre-back readies himself to depart Craven Cottage. Out of contract at the end of the season, several clubs have been courting the former Manchester City youth player in recent months including Chelsea and Manchester United, with Newcastle understood to be among those to have shown their interest. Now 26-years-old and with a great deal of Premier League experience behind him, Adarabioyo is an ideal addition as a free agent and allows Howe and the board more freedom in terms of transfer spending during the window. The Mags continue to be linked with a deal for another free agent in Bournemouth's Lloyd Kelly, who in a very similar situation is also being courted by a number of clubs ahead of the transfer window opening. Those decisions are already being prepared to allow Newcastle to have some spending power this summer, with the club keen to act early and secure the likes of Kelly and Adarabioyo before rivals act first.
