Chelsea free transfer explains reason his mother is happier than he is about Stamford Bridge move

Chelsea face Ipswich in a couple of hours in a game which Sky have the rights to, although they've chosen to show Man U against Newcastle instead.
Still, the broadcaster used their chance to speak to a Blues player to chat to one of the less heralded members of Enzo Maresca's squad. Tosin Adarabioyo has had to be very patient in his first season at the Bridge, but has been in the team recently thanks to injuries to Wesley Fofana and Benoit Badiashile. The defender has done well, and must be delighted about his form.
All he wanted was to return to where he was born and spent his early years, and after making that dream move he's now playing regularly too. His mum – who we heard back in the summer was a big Chelsea fan, must be delighted too, as Tosin explained:
"Returning back to London where I grew up… It was a very proud moment. Like I said at the time my mum was so happy, because obviously she loved Chelsea back in the day with all the African players – Didier, Jon Obi, Salomon Kalou, all those players, Essien," the defender explained.
"She always loved Chelsea back in the day. So now it's an amazing feeling for her to come to Stamford Bridge."
You can see him talking about the "full circle moment" in the clip embedded here:
Ipswich a crucial game for Tosin and teammates
It's a big game for Tosin tonight – two goals conceded at home against his old club Fulham at Stamford Bridge will have had his mum pretty upset, we're sure. He and his teammates need to get us back on track with a result tonight away from home in a game they must not take lightly.
