According to The Pitch Prospect, Tottenham and Newcastle are considering a January move for defender Fikayo Tomori.
West Ham and Brentford are also keen on the former Chelsea centre-back following his recent struggles at AC Milan.

Tomori was a regular at the Italian giants after signing in January 2021, initially on loan from the Blues before a permanent move was completed.
However, he has only appeared six times in Serie A this season and has only appeared as a substitute three times since October 6th.
In the last ten Serie A games, Tomori was on the field for just 13 minutes.
Spurs have had major deficiencies in defense in recent weeks with Cristian Romero and Micky van de Ven both out injured.
This means young midfielder Archie Gray has had to deputize at centre-back in the last five Premier League games, in which Spurs have scored 13 goals.
Tottenham manager Ange Postecoglou is also said to be eyeing a move for Wolves goalkeeper Sam Johnstone.
A move to Spurs would see him competing for a starting spot with Guglielmo Vicario, who is currently sidelined with an ankle injury.
The experienced Fraser Forster has played in his absence but has conceded 15 goals in seven league games.
Newcastle have been in the market for a new centre-back in recent windows and had attempted to sign Crystal Palace and England star Marc Guehi in the summer.
The Magpies’ advances were rebuffed by Palace, despite them making a club record bid of £65m for Guehi.

It was also reported that Newcastle wanted to bring Liverpool’s Jarell Quansah to St James’ Park in exchange for Anthony Gordon, but talks fell through.
Tomori could be a more likely player for Newcastle, although the player is contracted to Milan until June 2027.
Meanwhile, West Ham and Brentford are looking to strengthen their defenses after conceding 35 goals each in their 19 Premier League games this season.
Tomori rose through Chelsea’s prestigious Cobham academy and made his senior debut in 2016.
The 27-year-old played a total of 27 times for the west London club before moving to Milan, with whom he won the Serie A title in 2022.
The Canadian-born defender has five caps for the England senior team – his last came in a Euro 2024 qualifier against Malta in November 2023.
