EXCL: Chelsea medical DONE and another CB on the way? Arsenal hopes for midfielder signing not over yet, Lewandowski rejection, & more

Chelsea linked with another major defensive signing, plus possible hope for Arsenal in the race for a top midfielder...

Tosin Adarabioyo has Chelsea medical and another centre-back linked

Tosin Adarabioyo yesterday completed his medical tests as a new Chelsea player, with the ‘here we go’ confirmed for the former Fulham centre-back. It’s now time to finalise signing the documents and then Adarabioyo will be the first signing for new Chelsea manager Enzo Maresca.

Chelsea have also been linked with another centre-back in the form of Bayer Leverkusen’s Jonathan Tah. As I’ve previously said, it’s possible that Chelsea will sign more than one centre-back this summer, so another could follow Adarabioyo, but for Tah the first step is for him to tell Bayer Leverkusen what he wants to do with their new deal proposal - it will be soon.
