Sources: Tottenham plotting to sell Eric Dier and sign 25-year-old as January replacement
Tottenham will look to sign Tosin Adarabioyo in January if they can offload Eric Dier, sources have told Football Insider.
Spurs have been interested in the Fulham defender for most of the summer window and are likely to revisit a deal in the winter window either for a cut-price fee or in the form of a pre-contract agreement.
Adarabioyo’s contract expires in June 2024 after the Cottagers activated the 12-month extension clause in January this year.
The Lilywhites did add Wolfsburg defender Micky van de Ven to the back line but a late move for Adarabioyo did not materialise.
Current centre-back option Eric Dier has entered the final year of his contract at the Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and is yet to feature for the side this term.

The England international signed an extension to his deal back in 2020 after joining from Sporting in 2014.
But, as quoted by the BBC after the game, Postecoglou insisted Dier remains a part of the team despite his absence.
The 29-year-old has made 360 appearances for Spurs during his nine years at the club, netting 13 goals and offering up 12 assists in those outings.
