Tosin Adarabioyo: Fulham star invites Augustine Eguavoen for Crystal Palace clash

By Wale Mustapha

There is possibility of seeing more Nigerian descent from abroad joining the current Nigeria set up, with Fulham defender Tosin Adarabioyo on the rader of the Super Eagles.

The towering former England youth international recently linked up with Technical Director of Nigeria Football Federation, NFF, Augustine Eguavoen for his side’s Boxing Day clash against Crystal Palace.

Fulham recorded a convincing 3-0 win in the match against a 9-man Palace after Tyrick Mitchell and James Tomkins were sent off at different occasions following a horrible challenge on Fulham players.

Goals from Bobby Reid, Tim Ream, and Aleksandar Mitrovic gave Fulham the maximum points at Selhurst Park with Adarabioyo sitting out of the entire duration.

The invitation of Eguavoen to see the match by Adarabioyo has heightened claims about the defender’s desire to initiate a first step to retracing his steps back to his fatherland.

Born in Manchester to parents of Nigerian roots, Adarabioyo is a former England youth international and represented his country of birth on 14 occasions across the various age-group levels.

It will be recalled that Adarabioyo was invited to play for Super Eagles in 2018 but turned down the chance. The 25 year old is still eligible to play for his father land as he has not had any senior appearances for England.
