London-born Nigerian central defender Tosin Adarabioyo is among the nominees for Chelsea's Goal of the Month award for April 2026.

Chelsea, through their official website, have revealed ten goals shortlisted for the monthly accolade, with Tosin's strike against Port Vale in the quarterfinal of the FA Cup making the cut.

After goals from Jorrel Hato and João Pedro, along with an own goal from Jordan Gabriel handed Chelsea a three-goal advantage before the break, Tosin extended the lead further in the 57th minute.

The former Manchester City youth team skipper powered home a header from a Malo Gusto cross.

In his bid to win the award, Tosin faces competition from Mathis Eboue, Joao Pedro, Lewi Richards, Reggie Walsh, Sol Gordon and Enzo Fernandez.

This season, Tosin has scored twice in 28 all-competition appearances, three less than he managed in his maiden season at Stamford Bridge. 

The 28-year-old has to score four more goals in Chelsea's final five matches of the campaign to break his personal record for goals in a single season. 

Nigeria-eligible forwards Chizaram Ezenwata and Tyrique George earned nominations for Chelsea's Goal of the Month for October but did not claim the prize.
