BREAKING NEWS: coming from Fabrizio Romano, “He spoke with me few days ago as the team captain and explained his desire to join Arsenal because Thierry Henry use to be his childhood idol” Agent Martin Odegard revealed he has been trying so hard to lure ‘top rated’ defensive beast to Arsenal as Mikel Arteta is also a huge fan of the 26-years old former Chelsea star.

Arsenal is actively pursuing a deal for Fikayo Tomori, an English international known for his defensive prowess. Mikel Arteta, the Gunners’ manager, is eager to fortify the team’s defensive lineup and has expressed a keen interest in Tomori, considering him a key target.

Tomori, currently excelling at AC Milan, has garnered attention from various clubs, including Bayern Munich. However, Arsenal holds a potential edge in the race, as reports suggest that Thierry Henry, an Arsenal legend and Tomori’s childhood idol, has influenced the player’s desire to join the Gunners. The Tomori family’s allegiance to Arsenal further strengthens this connection.

Valued at around £34 million, Tomori has proven himself in Italy, making Milan reluctant to part ways with him. Arsenal sees him as an ideal long-term partner for Williams Saliba, bringing both defensive quality and physicality that could significantly enhance their backline.

While a January move seems improbable, given Milan’s reluctance to release him mid-season, the prospect of Tomori returning to the Premier League and fulfilling unfinished business might be enticing. The Gunners, however, must navigate potential negotiations with Milan to secure a deal, possibly in the upcoming summer transfer window.

If Tomori does make the switch to Arsenal, it could signal changes within the squad, potentially paving the way for Jacub Kiwior’s departure, especially considering his links with a return to Italy. The unfolding developments will determine whether Arsenal can successfully finalize a deal for Tomori and reshape their defensive lineup in the near future.
