Born in London to Nigerian parents, the Chelsea defender has represented England at various youth levels but is yet to commit to the Three Lions at the senior level.

Despite previous rejections, the NFF is undeterred and continues its pursuit of the talented centre-back, according to London World.

Former Super Eagles coach, Jose Peseiro, had also attempted to persuade Adarabioyo to play for Nigeria before the 2023 Africa Cup of Nations. With Adarabioyo's recent move to Chelsea, the NFF may see a new opportunity to convince him to don the Super Eagles jersey.

Chelsea secured the services of defender Tosin Adarabioyo on a free transfer from Fulham.

The 26-year-old has been a standout performer for the Cottagers, and his impressive displays earned him a move to the London rivals.

Adarabioyo signed a four-year contract with Chelsea, committing his future to the club until 2028.

Upon joining the Blues, Adarabioyo expressed his excitement, stating, "Chelsea is a huge club and this is a full-circle moment for me."
