Chelsea Defender, Tosin Adarabioyo, Visits Sanwo-Olu

Chelsea defender, Tosin Adarabioyo, was on Tuesday hosted by Governor Babajide Sanwo-Olu of Lagos State.

The visit comes ahead of a youth football tournament being held in his honour on Wednesday at the Mobolaji Johnson Arena.

Adarabioyo, who is currently in Nigeria, met with Sanwo-Olu as part of his homecoming tour.

Following his visit, Sanwo-Olu in a post on Instagram expressed admiration for the 27-year-old.

“Tosin Adarabioyo, who plays for Chelsea, stopped by to visit while he’s in Nigeria,” Sanwo-Olu said.

“It’s always inspiring to meet young Nigerians making their mark internationally, who remain grounded and stay connected to home.”

The centre-back was a member of the Chelsea team that recently won the restructured FIFA Club World Cup, which was hosted in the US.

Adarabioyo was born in London, UK, to parents of Nigerian heritage.

Although he represented England across multiple youth levels, he is yet to feature for the country’s men’s national team.
