West Ham United have been linked with the move for the AC Milan defender Fikayo Tomori.
According to Football Insider, the Hammers wanted to sign the player but they have failed in their attempt to sign the 26-year-old.
The England international has rejected an approach from the London club and he wants to continue with the Italian giants. He wants to compete at the highest level and it is no surprise that he has chosen to stay with Milan instead of joining West Ham.
AC Milan are one of the biggest clubs in the world and the opportunity to play for them can be exciting for any player. It is understandable why the player has chosen to stay with them instead of moving to West Ham. Although the London club have an exciting project, Milan are likely to compete for major trophies, and therefore any top player would choose them over the Premier League side.
West Ham want to improve their defence
Meanwhile, West Ham are looking to improve their defensive options before the summer transfer window closes. They were quite vulnerable at the back last season. They will need to improve if they want to secure European qualification next season. They have already signed Max Kilman and they are now looking to bring a quality partner for him.
On paper, the former Chelsea Academy graduate would have been an exceptional addition. He has proven his quality in Italian football, and he has the physical and technical attributes to do well in England as well.
However, West Ham will struggle to attract players of his quality without European football. It remains to be seen whether they return for him next summer. They have a quality squad and a top class manager. There is no reason why they cannot secure European qualification for the next season.
West Ham have been linked with other central defenders as well, and it will be interesting to see if they can bring in the right reinforcements before the transfer window closes. Signing the right players will help them improve next season and achieve their goals.
