_Tosin ADARABIOYO_
As a long time devoted fan of Manchester City that I proudly am, I’ve known Tosin ADARABIOYO for quite some years now. A lanky defender comfortable in the Center Back(preferably) and Right Back role.
In the picture above by CSN, He’s in the box wearing the No.24 Jersey for Blackburn Rovers where he has been on loan this season from Manchester City.
At just Age 22, the 1.76m tall defender seems to me a bright prospect for the Super Eagles. Interestingly, he has come out to acknowledge his Nigerian root and the desire to play for the National team someday with several pictures of him wearing the Naija jersey and his IG page with the Nigerian flag. He seems ready to dawn the Super Eagles jersey any time soon. Whenever I look at how he plays, he reminds me of SEMI AJAYI – To me the most technical defender in the Super Eagles at the moment. Similar in height and the way they read the game like they were taught in school. Tosin has featured for the Manchester City main team in the Premier League, FA Cup, EFL and several Pre-season tournaments before his loan move. He was keen to go on loan himself at the start of the season because he wanted more game time. His time at Manchester City will definitely come by soonest because of his determination right from his U-23 days in M.City.
Tosin Adarabioyo is someone to watch out for people! Keep an eye on him.
#God Bless Nigeria
Nice one.
