Sunderland is facing competition from several Premier League clubs to sign AC Milan defender Fikayo Tomori, according to journalist Graeme Bailey. The competing clubs include Manchester United, Aston Villa, Newcastle United, Fulham, and Tottenham Hotspur. Tomori's contract with AC Milan is set to expire at the end of the current campaign. This situation has sparked interest in potentially signing him on a free transfer next summer or possibly in the January transfer period.
Tomori, 28, has been performing well for AC Milan, playing 37 matches and providing three assists in the last season. He is considered one of the most talented centre-backs in Serie A, known for his tackling ability, passing tidiness, and aerial duels capability. Tomori's experience in the Premier League with Chelsea could ease his adaptation to Sunderland.
The acquisition of Tomori is seen as potentially beneficial for Sunderland, as he could add strength to their defense under Regis Le Bris. At 28, Tomori is considered to be entering his prime, making him a valuable asset. His versatility to play as a centre-back or right-back is also seen as an advantage.
