defender Tosin Adarabioyo has arrived at Chelsea a week early for pre season training. He joins fellow players Ben Chilwell and Trevoh Chalobah in preparing ahead of schedule. Adarabioyo, a right footed centre back, recently signed a four year deal with Chelsea after refusing to extend his contract with Fulham. His contract with Chelsea officially began on July 1.

Adarabioyo's early arrival is aimed at making a strong impression on new manager Enzo Maresca as he seeks to secure a spot in the starting lineup. The competition for places at Chelsea is intense, especially with reported interest in players like Riccardo Calafiori, which could increase the rivalry for positions.

Chelsea's pre season will take place in the United States, where the men's team is scheduled to play seven games. Their matches include fixtures against Wrexham on July 24, followed by games against Celtic, Club America, and Manchester City, and a final clash against UEFA Champions League winners Real Madrid at the Bank of America Stadium in Charlotte, North Carolina, on August 6.
