Tottenham Hotspur are reigniting their interest in AC Milan defender Fikayo Tomori and are reportedly preparing a renewed offer for the England international ahead of the summer transfer window.

Tomori, who is of Nigerian heritage, turned down a move to North London earlier this year during Tottenham’s injury crisis.

At the time, manager Ange Postecoglou was short of defensive options, with Cristian Romero and Radu Drăgușin both sidelined.

Despite his decision to remain at the Serie A club in February, The Times now reports that Spurs have not given up and are again targeting the 27-year-old.

Technical director Johan Lange is said to be spearheading the renewed interest, identifying Tomori as a priority addition to bolster the squad’s defensive stability.

AC Milan’s new manager reportedly favours a centre-back pairing of Matteo Gabbia and recent signing Strahinja Pavlović, potentially leaving Tomori out of the club’s long-term plans.

A lack of guaranteed minutes at San Siro could push the former Chelsea defender to consider a move where first-team football is more assured.

Tottenham’s renewed pursuit comes in the wake of their successful Europa League campaign and a season marked by persistent injuries to key defenders.

Romero and Micky van de Ven missed extended spells due to fitness issues, while Drăgușin suffered a season-ending ACL rupture.

The club’s depth at the back was tested severely, prompting a search for reliable reinforcements.

While Spurs have also been linked with Crystal Palace centre-back Marc Guéhi, negotiations with the Eagles may prove difficult. As such, Tomori remains a viable alternative should a deal for Guéhi not materialise.

With the transfer window now officially open, Tottenham’s approach for Tomori could accelerate in the coming weeks as they look to reinforce their defensive core ahead of the new campaign.
