Chelsea: Enzo Maresca admits Tosin Adarabioyo and Axel Disasi could leave during January transfer window - Blues hit by shortage of defenders but Trevoh Chalobah’s return adds to competition for place

This one comes from the Daily Mail, so take it with as many grains of salt as you’d like, but they claim in an exclusive that Brighton & Hove Albion are interested in signing Tosin Adarabioyo from Chelsea and are “keen on trying to tempt” the 27-year-old away after just seven months at Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea centre-back Tosin Adarabioyo has struggled to make an impression for Enzo Maresca, but with Brighton seeking to sign the former Fulham star, he could give the club’s bank balance a huge boost.

Following a VAR review, Tosin Adarabioyo's stike is onside and gives Chelsea a 1-0 lead over Wolves at Stamford Bridge.

Tosin Adarabioyo has sent a message to Chelsea fans on social media after their 3-1 victory over Wolves in the Premier League.

Adarabioyo moved to Chelsea over the summer from Fulham in a free transfer. The stopper has battled for a regular start this season, which has led to Brighton making an approach. But the Daily Express says manager Enzo Maresca has dug in his heels and insisted Adarabioyo must stay beyond the January market.

Chelsea reportedly now have no plans at all to sell an ‘important player’ who has recently been linked with making a move away this month. There has been many players linked with moves away from Chelsea this month, some of them have only recently joined the club.

Chelsea has ended a five-game winless run in the Premier League by beating Wolverhampton 3-1. Tosin Adarabioyo put the home side ahead after 24 minutes only for Matt Doherty to equalize against the run of play.

Chelsea centre half Tosin Adarabioyo was delighted at their 3-1 win over Wolves. The Premier League high fliers pushed back into the top four, taking Manchester City’s spot for the moment. Adarabioyo said: "Three goals in four games yes, four for the season and my first Premier League goal tonight, so very happy.

Speculation over Tosin's future comes at a time when Chelsea have decided to recall fellow defender Trevoh Chalobah from his loan spell at Crystal Palace. It is claimed that Chalobah has been assured by Chelsea that he will start matches under Maresca during the second half of this season, potentially raising doubts over Tosin's future game time.

Chelsea have been utterly dominant in the opening 30 minutes of their Premier League clash against Wolves, and have deservedly taken the lead through Tosin Adarabioyo. An unlikely first goalscorer, but 2025 has been very fruitful for the defender at the other end of the pitch.
