Coventry City's summer transfer window is heating up as Liverpool makes a surprise bid for Fikayo Tomori. The 28-year-old AC Milan defender has been made available for transfer with just 11 months remaining on his contract. Coventry City boss Frank Lampard is reportedly keen on the versatile defender, who would have likely become first choice at the CBS Arena.
However, Liverpool's interest may change the dynamics. The Merseyside giants are looking for a replacement for Ibrahima Konate and someone who can take on a similar role to that of Gomez, who has a history of injury issues. Tomori has the credentials to fill that void, having made 214 appearances for AC Milan and racked up 32 Champions League outings during his career.
What happened?
Liverpool have reportedly made initial contact with AC Milan to determine whether agreeing a deal for Fikayo Tomori is plausible. The report claims that Liverpool have already held early discussions with the Serie A club to discuss the transfer fee.
