Tosin had been linked with a number of other clubs over the summer and is said to have turned down a move to Newcastle United in favour of signing for Chelsea.
The defender has described the move as a “full-circle moment” after being born just a stones throw from Stamford Bridge.
Speaking to the official club website, he said: “Chelsea is a huge club and this is a full-circle moment for me.
“I was born three miles away from Stamford Bridge and made my professional debut there.
‘I’m very excited and looking forward to helping push the club in the direction we want to go.”
Tosin made his professional debut against the Blues in 2016 when he was still on the book at Man City.
The star gradated from City’s academy before heading out on formative loan spells with Blackburn Rovers and West Brom.
He left the Etihad in 2020 to join Fulham where he made 132 appearances, including 78 in the Premier League.
