Bailey recently confirmed that Juventus failed to land primary January target Ronald Araujo, so they have now turned their attention to Tomori.
Juventus are also keen on David Hancko, another player Tottenham have been looking at as a potential defensive addition.
What Tomori could bring to Tottenham or Aston Villa
Tottenham are in dire need of strengthening their defensive ranks this month amid injuries to many of their key defenders.
Meanwhile, Aston Villa look set to let Diego Carlos leave the club, meaning they’ll need to find a replacement.
Tomori would be a great option for both Tottenham and Villa as he’s a defender in his prime with experience at the highest levels, along with Premier League experience.
He has made 161 appearances for Milan and has won a Serie A title and an Italian Supercup with the Rossoneri.
Tomori has also won five caps for England and will be eager to give Thomas Tuchel food for thought in the 18 months leading to the 2026 World Cup.
Tomori is a confident, fast and imposing defender who’s comfortable in possession, can play with both feet, and weighs in with strong tackles.
He’s also an accurate passer, boasting a pass completion of 92.4%, putting him among the top 8 percent of defenders in that metric.
Juve are believed to be planning a deal involving a loan with obligation to buy for a total of €30million (), including loan fee.
With that in mind, Tottenham and Aston Villa will need to get a move on in the market, as Juve seem determined to get their man.
