Fikayo Tomori will spend the rest of this season on loan with Series A leaders, AC Millan.
Tomori was born in Canada to Nigerian parents and raised in England, he joined Chelsea’s academy at the age of eight and made his Premier League debut with the London-based club in 2016.
However, the deal for the 23-year-old English defender includes an option to buy, which would cost the Italian side £26.6m (€30m.)
The Italian Club said in a statement:
“AC Milan is delighted to announce the signing of Oluwafikayomi Oluwadamilola Tomori on loan from Chelsea FC until the end of the season,”
“The defender has signed a contract until June 30, 2021, but AC Milan have an option to make the deal permanent,”
The defender will wear the No 23 shirt while playing for Stefano Pioli’s side.
