Arsenal Transfer News: According to 90min, three Premier League clubs are monitoring former Chelsea defender Fikayo Tomori: Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United. And all three teams could try to trade for the 25-year-old come summer.
Tomori is now widely regarded as one of Serie A’s most dependable centre-backs. It’s thus not surprising that clubs like Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United have taken notice of his play. He’s been recent rumours linking him to Tottenham.
The English central defender was forced to leave Chelsea in order to get first-team playing time, but his move proved fruitful. The 25-year-old’s development with consistent playing time at AC Milan suggests he might be a valuable acquisition for any of the three English teams interested in him.
Moreover, Arsenal needs defensive reinforcements. Also, Tomori is a great long-term option for that. The Gunners have struggled without William Saliba this season and might need a boost in talent for the next campaign. The Gunners will be facing some of the best strikers in the world in the Champions League.
Tomori has the makings of a solid long-term partner for Saliba at the defensive core of the team. Victor Lindelof and Harry Maguire are two players Manchester United may have to replace this summer. Both have had their playing time severely limited this season. They may be looking to move on in the near future.

Moreover, Tomori would be a great addition to the team. He and Raphael Varane or Lisandro Martinez might work well together. Both Joel Matip and Joe Gomez have been disappointing for Liverpool this season. So Jurgen Klopp should try to get an improvement for the back line.
Currently, the club’s only reliable defenders are Ibrahima Konate and Virgil van Dijk. So adding Tomori could be a smart move. Moreover, the 25-year-old may be enticed to return to the Premier League, where he has a better chance of playing regularly for the England national team at Arsenal, Liverpool, or Manchester United.
According to transfermarkt, the English defender is worth €45 million. And clubs like Arsenal, Liverpool, and Manchester United have the resources to pay his salary. It remains to be seen whether the 25-year-old will spend the summer back in England. Although Arsenal fell to second place behind Manchester City on Sunday, Gary Neville insists that they still need to “do their job” because “strange things” can happen in this title race.
To finish off a great week that included a 4-1 win over Arsenal on Wednesday night, Pep Guardiola’s City squad triumphed 2-1 away at Fulham to reclaim first place in the league for the first time since early February.
