After Saturday’s abysmal attacking show at Crystal Palace, you’d hope Newcastle will deal with offensive signings in January, however one other centre-back has been linked at this time as we contemplate potential alternate options to Marc Guehi.
This convey us on to AC Milan’s Fikayo Tomori, who has been closely linked with a winter transfer to St James’ Park by the Italian press at this time.
Based on Calciomercato, Juventus are taken with signing the 26-year-old however face severe competitors from Newcastle, who’re regarded as main the race for his signature subsequent month.
Tomori was linked with the membership over the summer season, with he and Milan teammate Malick Thiaw talked about in a number of switch studies previous to a number of August bids for Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi.
Calciomercatio report that Tomori was beforehand valued at round €30m, however it’s thought Milan could also be prepared to money in on the previous Chelsea expertise for a decrease payment following his discount in sport time this season.
Tomori has been an unused substitute in 4 of Milan’s final six video games, managing simply 11 minutes in that point after shedding his spot within the beginning 11.
In consequence, seems as if he’ll be obtainable in January and he will surely provide a cut-price different to Guehi, however is Tomori the improve we’re crying out for and adequate to be Fabian Schar’s long-term alternative?
I’m not so certain and I wouldn’t be shocked if the Italian media (if not Milan) are utilizing Newcastle’s identify to push Juventus to make an early transfer in January.
Stranger issues have occurred and he does tick some packing containers primarily based on worth, his tempo and Premier League expertise, however I believe we’ll be aiming barely larger than Tomori if and after we look to signal Sven Botman’s future companion subsequent yr.
