AC Milan have been linked with a move for Arsenal defender Takehiro Tomiyasu in the January transfer window as the search for defensive depth intensifies, a report claims.
As has been reported by Calciomercato.com’s Daniele Longo on X, the Rossoneri are interested in Tomiyasu as he struggles to hold down a starting position at Arsenal.
He is not the first Arsenal defender to be linked with a move to Milan as Jakub Kiwior is also rumoured to be one of the Rossoneri’s many defensive targets.
Tomiyasu has not been a regular starter at Arsenal since he signed from Bologna, although his influence has increased in recent weeks and he seems to be a valuable option for Mikel Arteta.
That means Arsenal would be unlikely to sanction a loan deal for Tomiyasu that does not include an obligation for Milan to buy the player at the end of the season, something they may not be able to do from an economic standpoint.
Kiwior seems like the more plausible option as he plays much less for Arsenal, although he did start the recent 2-1 loss against Fulham in the Premier League.
What is certain is that Tomiyasu’s arrival would really boost the quality of Milan’s options at the back.
Why do we need a non EU spot to be occupied at right back when we have an Italian academy graduate + our captain who will be a legend at this club by the time he retires?
We are linked to the most baffling players constantly.
It is because of Pioli. He will never trust our homegrown young talent. Just embarrassing.
Popovic will take last non EU if he signs now on 8th January
Pretty sure Krunic’s non EU spot will get freed up when he leaves, unless bosnia counts as EU now, this whole candidate country schtick is confusing
Not his fault if the italian academy products are too bad to play on the first team.
since the board really like bargain or free transfers,
i found some interesting players in his last 6 months contract,
i’m not talking about Mbappe/ Thiago/ Varane, but Barco (LWB), Spinazzola (R/LWB), Ndidi (DM), Jorginho (CM) i think some of them can be good squad players. buy them cheap now or free in the summer. duo Real Betis can be option too
