Tomori joined Milan during the 2020-21 season on an initial loan from Chelsea that became a permanent deal six months later. He has been nothing short of sensational since his arrival at the club, becoming one of the best defenders in the league.
These performances have attracted interest, and Sky Germany’s Florian Plettenberg reported earlier in the week that Bayern ‘have enquired’ about the Englishman, but they received a firm rejection from Milan who do not want to sell.
Now, Arsenal have expressed an interest in signing Tomori according to FootballTransfers, with Mikel Arteta in particular picking him out as a good option to upgrade his backline. The Gunners are ‘monitoring his situation’ but interest ‘remains in the early stages’.
The report mentions that Tomori’s family are Arsenal fans and his favourite player growing up was France legend Thierry Henry, as he revealed during an interview with OneFootball in 2023.
“Thierry Henry was my idol when I was playing for my Sunday league team. I always used to have gloves on, and pull my socks over my knees,” he said.
Tomori’s current contract at Milan runs until 2027 and he renewed last year, so the Rossoneri have all the leverage in negotiations, while he is currently sidelined with a hamstring injury too.
