In what comes as a potential blow to Tottenham in their rumoured pursuit of Tosin Adarabioyo, The Standard have revealed that Fulham are ready to open talks with the centre-back on a new deal.
Adarabioyo was linked with a move to Spurs during the summer transfer window and it was reported by Football Insider a couple of weeks ago that the defender remains on the North London club’s radar ahead of January.
The outlet suggested that the Lilywhites wish to offload Eric Dier and could sign the 25-year-old to replace the experienced defender when the transfer window reopens.

Contract talks between Fulham and Adarabioyo?
Adarabioyo’s current contract runs out next summer and The Standard have now claimed that Fulham are open to beginning discussions with the player over a new deal.
The report states that the centre-back, who is currently out with an injury, refused to sign a new deal back in June but the Cottagers rejected an offer of £8.5m for the player from Monaco back in August.
However, the publication adds that Adarabioyo, who is ‘admired’ by Tottenham, could now be more open to committing his future to the West London club after boss Marco Silva signed a new deal.

I suspect that Tottenham and other clubs would be in touch with Adarabioyo’s representatives to express their intention to bid for his services in January.
However, if Marco Silva can perhaps convince the 25-year-old that he would get regular game time at Craven Cottage, the defender might be persuaded to sign a new deal.
