Sun: Milan facing opposition from Arsenal, Atletico and Tottenham for Theo deputy | OneFootball

In recent years, AC Milan have been unsuccessful in the hunt for a deputy for Theo Hernandez, but today, a new target has come to light.

Theo’s situation dominated 2024. Before the summer, there were reports about a star departing the Rossoneri. Then, shortly after Zlatan Ibrahimovic had said the defender was set to stay, he said he was unsure where his future would be.

Once he returned from the European Championship, things only got worse. Not only did the Frenchman’s performances drop, but he was regularly questioned for his commitment levels with Paulo Fonseca.

Due to all the noise, there has been elevated noise about his future. Throughout it all, the Diavolo remained dedicated to a contract extension, but there were occasional reports suggesting his future lay elsewhere.

With a new contract now expected, and the left-back showing signs of his old self, the question will be how to continue this. However, the search for a valid deputy will not stop, given concerns about his levels have often been down to his continued game time.

Many names have been suggested and today, The Sun have reported that Tyrick Mitchell is the latest focus for the club. The Crystal Palace left-back has been impressive for the Eagles for some time, and Milan will have to fight off competition from Atletico Madrid, Arsenal and Tottenham if they are going to land the potential deputy.
