Manchester City starlet Tosin Adarabioyo, 20, has splurged £2million on a mansion, despite never starting a Premier League game
A MANCHESTER City starlet aged 20 who has never started in a Premier League game has splurged on a £2million mansion.
Tosin Adarabioyo is on £25,000 a week despite just seven appearances for the megabucks side in cup games and the Champions League.
The six-bed, five-bathroom new build is tucked away on a country road in leafy Cheshire – a notorious hotspot for footballers.
The three-storey detached house also boasts a home cinema, gym and sweeping views overlooking a golf course.
Last night he was on the subs bench for the Carabao Cup clash with Bristol City.
A source said of the defender’s six-bed pad in Cheshire: “He has almost as many bedrooms as he has senior club appearances.”
He last played in their quarter-final Carabao Cup penalty shootout win over Leicester City last month.
He also appeared in their 2-1 Champions League defeat to Shakhtar Donetsk.
City’s wage bill soared 37 per cent last year to £264million, with Sergio Aguero and Yaya Toure taking home the biggest salaries on £220,000-a-week each.
Last year they again paid their way into the record books by paying £175,000 to sign 13-year-old Finley Burns from Southend United – the highest ever fee for someone his age.
Other mindboggling spending by young footballers include Adnan Januzaj, who blew £3million on a new pad aged just 22 – only to be sold by Manchester United to Real Sociedad eight days later.
Last year we told how £50,000-a-week England hotshot Dele Alli set up a property ownership and letting firm aged just 20.
