Chelsea: Enzo Maresca admits Tosin Adarabioyo and Axel Disasi could leave during January transfer window - Blues hit by shortage of defenders but Trevoh Chalobah’s return adds to competition for place

Tosin Adarabioyo has sent a message to Chelsea fans on social media after their 3-1 victory over Wolves in the Premier League.

Chelsea centre-back Tosin Adarabioyo has struggled to make an impression for Enzo Maresca, but with Brighton seeking to sign the former Fulham star, he could give the club’s bank balance a huge boost.

Chelsea star Tosin Adarabioyo has opened up on Trevoh Chalobah's brilliant performance in the Blues' 3-1 Premier League win over Wolverhampton Wanderers on Monday (January 20).

Trevoh Chalobah has just returned to Chelsea after his loan was cut short but has hit attempts to re-sign his former Crystal Palace teammate.

Brighton & Hove Albion have set their sights on Chelsea defender Tosin Adarabioyo, just seven months after his arrival at Stamford Bridge on a free transfer. As The Daily Mail reports, the Seagulls are exploring a permanent move for the 27-year-old, who has demonstrated steady improvement in his performances since joining from Fulham.

Chelsea are unwilling to sell Tosin Adarabioyo and instead, Axel Disasi and Renato Veiga are the defenders who could leave West London.

Chelsea ended their winless run in the Premier League with a 3-1 win over Wolves at Stamford Bridge on Monday night.

Speculation over Tosin's future comes at a time when Chelsea have decided to recall fellow defender Trevoh Chalobah from his loan spell at Crystal Palace. It is claimed that Chalobah has been assured by Chelsea that he will start matches under Maresca during the second half of this season, potentially raising doubts over Tosin's future game time.
