Tottenham are close to reaching an agreement to signing AC Milan centre-back Fikayo Tomori, according to reports in Italy.
Spurs have been dealt a late blow in the January transfer window after Bayern Munich winger, Mathys Tel, turned down a move to Ange Postecoglou’s side on Friday.
A €60 million (£50.2m) deal between Spurs and Bayern was agreed on Thursday, and Daniel Levy travelled to Munich on Friday in order to convince Tel over a move.
However, Tel has opted to reject Tottenham and is holding out for another club with Arsenal, Chelsea, Manchester United and Aston Villa all interested in a deal.
According to Sky Sport Italy, Tottenham have now moved quickly to agree a deal with Milan for Tomori and the two clubs are close to completing a deal.
The report claims that Spurs have presented a €30 million (£25m) offer to Milan, who are open to selling the defender.
The 27-year-old has been at Milan for the past four years having initially joined the Serie A side on loan from Chelsea in January 2021.
Milan made the move permanent the following summer for £25m and Tomori has been a regular in the team for the past three-and-a-half seasons.
During his time at Milan, Tomori helped the club win Serie A in 2022. He was also named in Serie A’s Team of the Year that same season.
When asked about Tomori’s potential exit earlier this month, Milan’s advisor Zlatan Ibrahimovic said: ‘Tomori is our player, he is happy at Milan, played well both under Fonseca, but also Conceicao really likes him. He is a Milan player.’
