Tottenham's transfer ambitions have hit another setback as AC Milan defender Fikayo Tomori has reportedly expressed his desire to remain with the Italian club, despite recent approaches from the Premier League side.
The London club's transfer window struggles continue following their failed pursuit of Bayern Munich's Mathys Tel, for whom they had agreed a substantial £50 million ($62m/€60m) deal earlier this week. Tel's rejection has forced Spurs to explore alternative options, with Tomori emerging as a potential target according to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano. However, as reported by Luca Bendoni, the English defender appears committed to AC Milan, with his immediate focus set on this Sunday's Milan derby.
This latest setback comes at a crucial time for Tottenham, who find themselves in a precarious position in the Premier League 2024/25 season. Currently languishing in 15th place and only eight points clear of the relegation zone, the club's need for quality reinforcements is becoming increasingly urgent. While they have shown promise in cup competitions, reaching the Carabao Cup semi-finals and maintaining their FA Cup campaign, their league form remains a significant concern.
In their pursuit of strengthening the squad, Tottenham have also reportedly opened discussions with Manchester United regarding Alejandro Garnacho. The want-away star, valued at £60m ($74.4m/€71.8m), represents another ambitious target for the struggling side.
As Ange Postecoglou's team prepares for a challenging away fixture against Brentford this Sunday, the pressure to secure meaningful transfers before the window closes continues to mount. The rejection from Tomori adds another chapter to what has been a difficult transfer period for the North London club.
