Deal agreed for Chelsea defender Tomori to join AC Milan

By

Chelsea have agreed a deal with AC Milan for Fikayo Tomori to move to the San Siro on loan.

The Italian club will have an option to buy the defender for £26m at the end of the season.


Tomori has fallen down the pecking order of centre-backs at Chelsea and is keen to play first-team football.

Blues boss Frank Lampard has insisted that Tomori is part of his long-term plans.

But the deal with Milan means there is a chance that Tomori has played his final match for Chelsea.

He rejected a loan switch to West Ham during the final stages of the previous transfer window, but this time around indicated that he would take the opportunity to move.
