Hey, remember how bad we all felt when Mathys Tel said “No” to a Tottenham Hotspur transfer straight to Daniel Levy’s face? Well prepare to get even more upset. Tottenham’s preferred target for a central defense addition this window, AC Milan and former Chelsea defender Fikayo Tomori, has now officially rejected a move to Spurs.
Sigh.
Fikayo Tomori has officially said no to Milan: he will not accept Tottenham. Milan and Spurs had an agreement for a transfer worth over 25 million. The English centre-back will be available for the derby tomorrow.
I guess it’s not a surprise after the earlier news that he did not want to leave Milan before the Milan Derby tomorrow, but this still sucks. It means Spurs’ top two targets in this window (after Antonin Kinsky) have flat-out rejected a move to Tottenham, despite Spurs coming to an agreement with their clubs.
Now, I’m of the opinion that you can’t (and shouldn’t) force players to a club against their will, and if a player doesn’t want to come then we’re better off without them. But it still sucks. Hopefully Spurs have more irons in the fire besides Alex Disasi, because it’s starting to get ridiculous now.
