Arsenal were “paying close attention” to AC Milan defender Fikayo Tomori during the Rossoneri’s match against Roma at the weekend, according to 90min.com.

The website claims that the Gunners had scouts in attendance to see the former Chelsea player in action on Saturday.

It seems as though William Saliba’s injury has prompted the club to search the market for a suitable backup, with Rob Holding having struggled to fill the void left by the Frenchman.

Crystal Palace’s Marc Guehi is said to be another option that Mikel Arteta’s side are considering, along with Tomori, who has impressed since joining Milan (initially on loan) two and a half years ago.

90min report that the England international is also being monitored by Manchester United, Liverpool and Newcastle so Arsenal may have a fight on their hands if they do make a bid this summer. We shall see if they make a formal approach in the coming weeks.
