West Ham could sign Tosin Adarabioyo this summer with release clause
West Ham United are the club most interested in signing Fulham defender Tosin Adarabioyo in the summer with a release clause to become active, according to Football League World.
The 24-year-old had a £10million release clause last summer when the Cottagers were relegated from the Premier League but no move came for the Englishman.
He got his head down and has been a key figure in Fulham’s brilliant season in the Championship as they look most likely to make a swift return to the top flight.
FLW believe that another release clause will become active early into the summer transfer window and that West Ham seems to be the club most likely to activate it although no price was mooted.
Yet another defender
It’s becoming clear that David Moyes really wants a defender this summer and there aren’t many who haven’t been linked with a move to the London Stadium now.
Joe Gomez is another who has been linked to the Hammers and 90min journalist Graeme Bailey believes Liverpool are set to make a big decision of his Anfield future, as he told Anfield Watch.
But it isn’t the defence that has been a big problem in reality with Kurt Zouma, Craig Dawson and Issa Diop all doing a good job in covering for the injured Angelo Ogbonna at the heart of the team.
What the Irons really need is another striker to help ease the mounting pressure on Michail Antonio.
There’s nothing Moyes can do now to help the Jamaican with his mountain of games for both club and country but if he can add another top-quality goalscorer to his ranks for next season, he might also get the best out of the 31-year-old too.
In other West Ham news, transfer talks could be set to take place with this Irons ace mooted to return to his homeland.
