'Jumps Like A Gazelle' - Fulham's Tosin Reveals How He Plans To Stop Everton's 18-Goal Striker

Published: February 11, 2021

Fulham continue their fight to beat the drop when they face Alex Iwobi's Everton in a Premier League clash at Goodison Park on Sunday, February 14.

The Cottagers have shown against the big teams that they are not pushovers, holding Liverpool and Tottenham Hotspur to draws and losing by a one-goal margin to Chelsea and Manchester United.

Everton striker Dominic Calvert-Lewin is having an exceptional season, scoring 18 goals in all competitions, including two in the win at Fulham back in November.

Tosin Adarabioyo has been arguably Fulham's best defender this season and the center back has revealed how he plans to keep the Toffees number 9 quiet.

"You just have to stay as close as you can to him especially in the box, try and nullify any chances that he gets," Tosin told FFC TV.

The former Manchester City youth team captain went on to highlight the qualities of Calvert-Lewin that makes it difficult to defend against him.

"I think he's got about everything. He's very fast, strong and jumps like a gazelle, and he's obviously scoring goals, he can score all types of goals, he's a good finisher, good with his head".

Tosin has gone the distance in each of the last eighteen matches played by Fulham in the Premier League and has an exemplary defensive record with only one yellow card shown to him in 1,620 minutes of action.
