Fikayo Tomori, a talented centre-back from AC Milan, is on the verge of signing with Tottenham, according to reports from Italy. It seems that Spurs are close to finalizing a deal with Milan for the 27-year-old, who has been a key player for the Italian side for the past four years.
This news comes as a late surprise for Tottenham, who were dealt a blow in the January transfer window when Bayern Munich winger Mathys Tel rejected a move to the club on Friday. The club had already agreed on a €60 million deal with Bayern and their chairman, Daniel Levy, even traveled to Munich in an attempt to convince Tel to join. However, the winger has turned down Tottenham's offer and is now looking for other potential suitors, with Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United, and Aston Villa all reportedly interested.
In light of this, Tottenham have acted quickly and are now in talks with Milan for Tomori's transfer. Sky Sport Italy reports that a deal worth €30 million has been presented by Spurs, and Milan are open to selling the defender. Tomori initially joined Milan on loan from Chelsea in January 2021 and the move was made permanent for £25 million the following summer. He has since been a regular in the starting lineup for the Italian side and was instrumental in their Serie A triumph in 2022. In fact, he was even named in the Serie A Team of the Year for that season.
When asked about Tomori's potential departure earlier this month, Milan's advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic expressed his confidence in the defender, stating that he is happy at the club and has performed well under both managers Fonseca and Conceicao. With this latest development, it seems that Tomori may be on his way to Tottenham, adding a new chapter to his successful stint at Milan.
