Tottenham Hotspur is reportedly making moves to sign AC Milan defender Fikayo Tomori, with manager Roberto De Zerbi keen to bolster his backline ahead of the January transfer window.
According to a TEAMtalk exclusive, Spurs have reached out to inquire about the availability of the England international, and a switch back to the Premier League seems increasingly plausible for the 28-year-old.
Tomori has found consistent game time hard to come by at AC Milan this season, sparking speculation about his future. Having been a vital part of their defense previously, he might be tempted by a new opportunity in England. His pace, strength, and assertive defending could be valuable assets for De Zerbi's team as they aim to deepen their defensive options.
The former Chelsea academy product is no stranger to English football, having played in the Premier League before his move to Milan in January 2021. A return could offer him a chance to reignite his career and secure more regular minutes.
However, Tottenham isn't alone in their interest. Newcastle United has also made inquiries, with Manchester United, Aston Villa, Sunderland, and Fulham also reportedly tracking the defender's situation.
AC Milan's potential willingness to negotiate could present Tottenham with a significant opportunity. With Tomori's contract set to expire next summer, the Italian club might look to secure a fee in January rather than risk losing him on a free transfer. This scenario could allow Spurs to sign an experienced Premier League defender at a potentially reduced price, although they will first need to evaluate their current squad depth.
Given the competition from several other clubs, Tottenham may need to act swiftly if they wish to secure Tomori's signature.
