West Ham United’s pursuit of 26-year-old centre-back Fikayo Tomori from AC Milan is heating up as they seek to bolster their defensive line. With the summer transfer window approaching, the Hammers are keen to secure a solid replacement for the departed Angelo Ogbonna and to address the uncertain futures of Kurt Zouma and Nayef Aguerd.
Tomori, who has flourished since his move from Chelsea to Milan in 2021, has made nearly 150 appearances and played a pivotal role in their Serie A triumph. His impressive form has also earned him a spot in the England squad, making him a sought-after talent.
Despite recent links with Newcastle United, West Ham are determined to bring Tomori back to London. The Hammers’ interest in Tomori is understandable given their need for a reliable central defender. With other targets like Oumar Solet also on their radar, Tomori stands out due to his Premier League experience and proven track record at a top European club.
However, it’s uncertain if Tomori is open to returning to the Premier League, especially after turning down a move in 2020. West Ham fans will be eagerly watching to see if the club can convince the English international to join their ranks and strengthen their defense for the upcoming season.
