The Governor of Lagos State, Babajide Sanwo-Olu on Tuesday received Chelsea defender, Tosin Adarabioyo in his office.

Sharing photos of the visit on social media, the Lagos governor said, “Tosin Adarabioyo, who plays for Chelsea, stopped by to visit while he’s in Nigeria.

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

Adarabioyo, who was born in London, United Kingdom, to Nigerian parents, is presently in Nigeria to organise a football tournament named the Tosin Adarabioyo Youth Cup.

The tournament which kicks-off on Wednesday, July 23, comprises four teams, including 36 Lion FC, Mavilon FC, Seamoriow Football Academy and a team representing the Lagos State Football Association (LSFA).

Adarabioyo has represented England at various youth levels but has yet to make his senior debut, fuelling speculations he could switch allegiance to Nigeria.
