The 23-year-old joined Milan on loan in January with a clause to enable the move to be made permanent at the end of the season. Before moving to Italy he had fallen down the pecking order at Chelsea, making just four appearances during the first half of the season. Tomori signed a five-year deal with Chelsea in December 2019, soon after his England debut against Kosovo - having switched his international allegiance after representing his native Canada at Under-20 level. BBC Sport understands Tomori is viewed by the Milan hierarchy as a player who can help produce the "progressive football" the team is trying to play.
