Tottenham Hotspur have been linked with the move for Fikayo Tomori in recent months, and the player is likely to be available on a bargain at the end of the season.
The 27-year-old AC Milan defender was initially valued at around £30-34 million, but the Italian outfit are prepared to sell him for a fee of around £26 million in the summer. Milan are likely to miss out on Champions League qualification, and they need to sell a couple of players in order to balance the books.
According to a report from TEAMtalk, Tottenham are admirers of the former Chelsea defender, and they held concrete talks with the Italian outfit to sign the player in January.
It will be interesting to see if they are willing to pay the asking price for the 27-year-old English defender in the summer. Tomori has done quite well in Italy, and he has the qualities to do well in English football as well. Tottenham need more defensive depth in the side, and he could be the ideal acquisition for a reasonable price.
Fikayo Tomori could fancy a Premier League return
The opportunity to return to the Premier League could be exciting for the former Chelsea defender as well. He is a reliable performer, and he could improve Spurs instantly. He has been described as an “extraordinary” player by Ivan Gazidis in the past.
Tottenham could lose Cristian Romero in the summer, and multiple clubs are keen on securing his signature. They need to find a quality alternative, and Tomori could be a useful acquisition.
It remains to be seen whether Tottenham decide to return for the defender in the coming months. There is no doubt that he has the quality to justify the £26 million asking price. It will be interesting to see how the situation develops.
