Coventry are considering a deadline day move for Fikayo Tomori, with Chelsea also credited with interest in the England and AC Milan centre-back as the summer transfer window approaches its close.
According to Sempre Milan, Coventry have Tomori on their radar as clubs work through their final options before the window shuts. The defender, who previously played for Chelsea, has emerged as a name to watch on a potentially busy final day of trading.
Chelsea’s interest is understood to be linked to their desire to expand their defensive backup options before the deadline. The Blues are not reported to be alone in monitoring the situation, with Coventry also weighing up whether to make a move for the former Stamford Bridge player.
At this stage, the level of both clubs’ interest remains unclear, and it is not yet known whether either side will be able to turn their admiration into a concrete deal before the market closes. With time running short, any move would likely require swift progress between the relevant parties.
Tomori’s profile as an England centre-back currently on the books of AC Milan makes him an eye-catching name on deadline day. Chelsea’s connection with the player adds another layer of intrigue, particularly as the club are reportedly looking to strengthen the depth behind their defensive options.
For Coventry, a deal would represent an ambitious late attempt to reinforce at centre-back. However, with Chelsea also credited with an interest and the clock ticking towards the end of the window, Tomori’s situation could depend on how quickly clubs are prepared to act before the deadline passes.
