Shock Decision: Why He’s Snubbing West Ham for Newcastle’s Mega Project!”

Both West Ham and Newcastle are looking to strengthen their defense by signing a new center-back this summer.

They’re targeting similar players, including Jean-Clair Todibo and Fikayo Tomori.

As both clubs aim to compete in European competitions next season, they’re exploring similar transfer options to improve their squads.

According to journalist Ben Jacobs, West Ham currently appears to be the frontrunner in the race to sign Fikayo Tomori, who is valued at around £25 million.

However, Newcastle’s interest in the player remains.

Interestingly, Tomori already has a connection at Newcastle through his former AC Milan teammate Sandro Tonali.

The two players have a close friendship, which could potentially influence Tomori’s decision.

Despite West Ham’s apparent advantage, Newcastle’s more advanced project and Tomori’s existing relationship with Tonali could make a move to Tyneside more appealing for the defender.

Both clubs are competing to secure Tomori’s signature, and it seems likely that the AC Milan center-back could make a return to the Premier League in the upcoming transfer window.
