According to L’Équipe and Foot Mercato, Adarabioyo is set to complete a move to Monaco, with the Principality club on the verge of agreeing to a deal with Fulham having already sorted out personal terms with the player.

The Manchester City Academy graduate has previously played for West Brom and Blackburn on loan from the Cityzens, with Fulham being his first permanent senior side.

He has also played for England at U16, U17, U18, and U19 levels, but has also expressed a willingness to play for the Super Eagles in the past, and could be a valuable addition to the team to replace the ageing legs at centre-back.
