Tottenham are reportedly considering a January move for AC Milan centre-back Fikayo Tomori to address their ongoing defensive struggles.
The English defender, a former Chelsea player, has captured Spurs’ attention as they grapple with a depleted backline due to injuries.
Cristian Romero, Micky van de Ven, and Ben Davies remain sidelined, forcing manager Ange Postecoglou to rely on makeshift pairings like Radu Dragusin and Archie Gray.
With Tottenham’s defensive frailties evident, Tomori’s wealth of experience and proven ability in Serie A make him an attractive option.
Despite being a consistent performer for AC Milan in the Champions League this season, Tomori’s league appearances have been limited, raising speculation about his future at the Italian club under new manager Sergio Conceicao.
Fabrizio Romano when asked if the player could join Tottenham this month said (via his GiveMeSport column):
“No news on this so far. Tomori’s future depends on Sergio Conceicao now, as he was not a key player under former manager Paulo Fonseca. Let’s see what Milan decide to do now with their new manager.”
Could Fikayo Tomori be the solution to Spurs’ struggles?
Since joining AC Milan permanently in 2021, Fikayo Tomori has established himself as a reliable defender, playing a crucial role in their 2021–22 Serie A title win and earning a spot in the Team of the Year.
His defensive prowess, leadership, and experience in high-stakes matches could provide Tottenham with the stability they desperately need.
Tomori has made 15 appearances for Milan this season and remains under contract until 2027, with a reported market valuation of €22 million.
This makes him a realistic target for Spurs, who are keen to bolster their defensive options and reignite their Premier League campaign.
Whether Tottenham can strike a deal for the 27-year-old remains uncertain, but landing Tomori would undoubtedly be a step toward addressing their pressing defensive concerns.
