Tosin Adarabioyo Joins Blackburn On Loan
Blackburn Rovers have signed 21 year old, Tosin Adarabioyo, on a season long loan from Manchester City. After a strong season at West Bromwich Albion, just missing out on the Play-Offs, Tosin is looking to continue where he started off and help Rovers have a successful campaign throughout the 2019/20 season.
Tosin enjoyed a campaign on loan at divisional rivals West Bromwich Albion last season, appearing 36 times for the Baggies. Adarabioyo played in both games against Rovers in 2018/19, but is now looking to help his new team get one over his old side and the rest of the Championship.
“We’ve been working on this deal for a good few weeks now and we’re delighted he’s here. He’s still a young boy, but the positive for me is that it’s his second season-long loan having spent the last campaign at West Bromwich Albion. I think he grew into their season and we’ll hopefully get the benefit of a confident and assured young guy who has amazing physical attributes. He’s 6ft 5in, he’s fast, mobile and good on the ball, just as you’d expect coming from a club like Manchester City. He’s played in the Champions League for them and we’re hoping that he’ll bring his talents here to help us win games. He’s a giant and he’s coming up to 22 now. That ball needs to be a magnet to his head, but he doesn’t see himself as someone who just heads the ball; he’s a footballer. But he has good feet and that power, that ability to cover the ground and take the ball off the opposition.”
