The defender has made 27 appearances for Chelsea since rising from the youth ranks in 2016. During that time, the player has enjoyed successful loan spells at Brighton & Hove Albion, Hull City and Derby County. Though, he has only played four games for Chelsea this season, most recently as a substitute in the FA Cup third round win over Morecambe.
Tomori is an England international, having been capped in 2019. As such, there were high hopes for the player, but Milan have confirmed that the loan the deal includes an option to buy, which Sky Sports News reports is set at €30m (£26.6m).
