Newcastle United is reportedly targeting AC Milan centre-back Fikayo Tomori for a January transfer as the club seeks to strengthen its defense following significant summer sales and a challenging start to the season.
The Magpies are keen on the English defender to shore up their backline, according to information from Football Insider. Despite the January transfer window still being some months away, Premier League teams facing difficulties are already planning reinforcements.
Newcastle experienced a tough summer, losing several key players without adequately replacing them. Another home defeat, this time against Aston Villa, has intensified the urgency for the squad to improve, with the January window appearing crucial.
Fikayo Tomori, who has amassed over 200 appearances for AC Milan, has reportedly fallen down the pecking order this season, making a return to England a possibility. The 28-year-old possesses extensive top-flight and European experience, which could be invaluable for Newcastle as they look to make "emergency additions."
While Tomori is set to become a free agent at the end of the season, meaning any January transfer fee would likely be minimal, he might also opt to wait until May to explore offers. However, his availability and experience make him an attractive prospect for Newcastle's immediate needs.
