Linked again with this guy. Might be a homegrown option to go with Tapsoba or VDV. A quick google shows he came through the city academy and had a couple of loans before becoming a Fulham regular.

Haven't watched him much but his Wiki seems to describe him as the complete defender lol!

Adarabioyo is an athletic ball-playing centre-back who was previously described as being "fast, strong in the air and [possessing] the quality to look forward behind the line for the next pass" by his former Emirates Marketing Project manager Pep Guardiola.[70] Standing at 6 ft 5 in, his height and physical presence have seen him emerge as a dominant defender who is adept at winning aerial duals and effecting headed clearances, while simultaneously posing as a goal threat from set-pieces in the opposition box.[52] During the 2020–21 Premier League season, which was his first full campaign in England's top flight, Adarabioyo recorded more clearances than any other player in the division.[71] He has also earned recognition as a player who is strong in the tackle and capable with the ball at his feet, suitable to a possession-based style of play, and boasts good positional awareness and reading of the game in defensive situations

That's easy for you to say.
 
He’s 25 years old but yet he’s largely gone under the radar with no call ups. Seems strange. Is he a late developer? Or is he not as good as people make him out to be?

Lots of good defenders are late bloomers (in footballing terms), so I wouldn't worry too much about that. I reckon it's got something to do with physical development as well as maturity and reading of the game, but what do I know! :p

These were my comments about him on here back in May 2021, when suggesting a few players from the teams relegated from the PL that might be good options for us to sign:

Toisin Adarabioyo. A very classy, young centre back. Tall and rangy, covers the ground well, has decent positional sense for his young age and is also comfortable on the ball. Another association trained player. Could potentially be a replacement for Sanchez on lower wages and advantage of being an English player.
