Newcastle want a player Pep Guardiola says is deceptively fast

According to The Mirror, Newcastle United are interested in Fulham defender Tosin Adarabio.

Newcastle, of course, already have a former Fulham centre-back in their backline in the shape of Dan Byrne, and now, they can partner him with Tosin.

Byrne is, of course, one of the most physically imposing defenders in the Premier League, and while Tosin is a giant in his own right – standing at 6ft 5, it is fair to say that he and Byrne are in a field. are different.

In fact, while Bern is a boulder in the back, Tosin is more of a Rolls Royce combining incredible physical stature with lightning speed.

In fact, the pace of the Fulham defender has been praised by Pep Guardiola in the past as well.

What has been said?

Guardiola had talked about the centre-back during his time at Manchester City.

“We have to tell Tosin that he has a lot of moves to get better, so it hasn’t happened, the player hasn’t. But he has all the qualities,” Guardiola said.

“He’s faster, he’s faster than people might believe. He’s strong in the air. He has the ability to look behind the line for the next step, the next pass, but he has a lot of things to improve and I hope I can help her develop her skills.”

complete package

Based on Guardiola’s description, you’d be forgiven for believing that Tosin is the complete package in the mid-half, and you’d be right.

The Fulham man really has it all. He’s lightning fast, he’s as strong as they come and his line-breaking passing is next level.

There’s a reason Tosin is targeting a spot in the England team, and with the right coaching, he’ll definitely get a chance for the Three Lions.

Getting the centre-back from Fulham can be an easy task, but if Newcastle can land him, they will be in for a real gem.
