Magpies Reach Out to Tomori’s Camp
Newcastle United have initiated talks with the representatives of Fikayo Tomori as they aim to bring the England international back to the Premier League. The St James’ Park hierarchy is eager to gauge Tomori’s interest in a summer switch as they plan for the upcoming season.
Tomori’s Italian Adventure
Since his £25million transfer from Chelsea to AC Milan in 2021, 26-year-old Tomori has been a key figure in the Italian club’s defense. His contributions were pivotal in AC Milan’s Serie A triumph in the 2021-22 season. With 142 appearances for the Rossoneri, the Canadian-born player has firmly established himself in Italy, remaining under contract until 2027.
Defensive Reinforcements for Newcastle
Newcastle’s interest in Tomori comes as they look to strengthen their defense, having already secured a deal with Lloyd Kelly, who will join on a free transfer after his contract with Bournemouth concludes. The Magpies have suffered setbacks with injuries to key defenders Sven Botman and Jamaal Lascelles, and the release of Paul Dummett, prompting manager Eddie Howe to seek additional options.
Tomori’s Premier League Prospects
Despite his solid performances for AC Milan, including playing every minute in their Champions League encounters with Newcastle, Tomori has faced international disappointment, missing out on Gareth Southgate’s squad for the European Championships. A return to the English top flight with Newcastle could boost his visibility and chances of an England recall.
Newcastle’s Ambitious Plans
With the club confirming an attractive “triple-your-money” deal for Kelly, Newcastle’s ambition is clear as they continue to build a competitive squad for Howe. As the transfer window progresses, the Magpies’ pursuit of Tomori is a statement of intent, showing their desire to climb higher in the Premier League standings.
What’s Next for Bruno Guimaraes?
Amidst the discussions around Tomori, there are also fresh developments regarding the future of Newcastle’s midfielder Bruno Guimaraes. Fans will be keenly awaiting updates on his status as the club moves forward with its summer plans.
