Authenticity (2.5/5): TalkSPORT fuel Tomori's exit speculation
After Newcastle United were linked to Tomori, the badly underachieving Tottenham Hotspur are now in the race for his signature during the January transfer window, amid his struggles at AC Milan.
The story comes from talkSPORT, but they provide little information about their source.
Value (2.5/5): Milan's demands remain unclear
Valued at £18.2million by Transfermarkt, the Englishman has fallen down the pecking order at San Siro, having managed just six starts in Serie A this season. As such, it appears Milan may not be reluctant to part ways with him. However, their asking price for the player, who is tied to the club until 2027, remains unclear.
Suitability (3/5): Resilient defensive presence
Tomori initially made headlines in Milan with his ability to dominate his opposition in duels. Ange Postecoglou's side could certainly do with a reliable physical presence imminently, with their leader Cristian Romero sidelined.
Upgrade? (2.5/5): Good squad option
The 27-year-old is unlikely to start over Romero and Micky van de Ven in North London. However, Spurs are facing an injury crisis at the back with both of their first-choice defenders injured. If they want to challenge for the Champions League places, they need more players like Tomori to ensure their defence remains stable.
Logic (3.5/5): Time to return to England
During his early days in Milan, the Englishman was so promising that it led to question marks over Chelsea's decision to sell him. However, the last 18 months have been relatively tough for Tomori in Italy, and it might be good for him to return to familiar surroundings in London.
Whisper+ verdict: 14/25
Spurs could certainly do with a player like Tomori and a January exit from Milan appears to be a real possibility. However, they face competition from Newcastle, Brentford, and West Ham United for his signature. We feel as though the Magpies' upward trajectory compared to the others might still swing it.
