The latest Newcastle transfer news - Newcastle United are one of the clubs interested in signing Fikayo Tomori from AC Milan. Aston Villa and West Ham are also keen on the defender. AC Milan appear ready to sell, which could pave the way for a move back to England.
Fikayo Tomori initially joined AC Milan on loan from Chelsea before making the move permanent in 2021. He signed for £24 million after impressing during his time at the San Siro. In his first full season, Tomori helped Milan win the Serie A title. However, injuries and a dip in form have seen his opportunities diminish.
