Chelsea’s new signing, Tosin Adarabioyo, has said that he spoke with both Raheem Sterling and Cole Palmer before officially joining the Blues.
Adarabioyo signed a contract with Chelsea on Friday morning that will see him remain at Stamford Bridge until June 2028.
The 26-year-old became a free agent after his contract with Fulham expired this summer.
“I spent two or three years with Raz [Raheem Sterling] and Willy, and I spent most of my youth journey with Cole,” the centre-back told Chelsea’s website.
“Before confirming the move, I gave Raz and Cole a call and they had nothing but positive things to say about the club and the project, and how excited they were that I was coming to the club.”
