Fulham boss Silva admits Adarayabioyo to leave

Fulham boss Marco Silva admits he is set to lose one of his most important players.

Newcastle United target Tosin Adarabioyo is leaving Craven Cottage to sign for a new team.

The 26-year-old has not played their most recent games, as he appears to have made his intention clear to run down his contract and leave in the summer.

I know all the noise around himself and his future. I have been speaking to him, I have a close relationship with him like all the players," Silva told reporters this week.

Everything has been clear between myself and him. And from him to me and my staff as well.

"If he is available to be in the squad, he will be in the squad. Nothing changed from last week when the news started to come that he won't be with us next season. I know what he told me and I prefer to keep that between us.

It is a decision from the player, apart from that, Tosin is ready to play and be in the squad if I decide for him to be there. Tosin has to be clear about his future when he decides to be clear about his future.

He has to talk about it, of course, we are here to try and prepare as best we can for the future of the football club. We haven't hid the situation of trying to renew with him, like other players."
