Liverpool are believed to have made contact with AC Milan over the signing of centre-back Fikayo Tomori this summer, as they look to bolster their defence. That said, it is claimed that Milan are willing to hold firm and keep hold of the Englishman, even though he only has one more year remaining on his current deal.

So for him to give it to me and to say those things – on top of me having 100 appearances for Milan – is a moment I will always treasure.” Tomori is exactly what Liverpool should be looking for in terms of age, sitting right in his peak years, and he has some Premier League experience from his Chelsea days, which can only be a good thing. He started 31 out of 38 Serie A matches last season, averaging three clearances and two tackles per match, while Joe Cole has had this to say about him in the past: “He has taken a massive gamble going there, there’s no better place to learn your trade.

He has gone there and been outstanding. He is coming back with a point to prove.” It remains to be seen if Tomori ends up being Liverpool’s centre-back of choice, but whatever happens, a new face must come in there before the summer transfer window slams shut.
