AC Milan have joined the race to sign Chelsea centre-back Fikayo Tomori on loan, according to reports.

The one-cap England international could leave the Blues on a temporary transfer in January after struggling for game time this season.

Tomori was a regular for Frank Lampard’s side in the first half of 2019/20, but he has found opportunities harder to come by this term.

He told football.london: “The situation with Fikayo is open at the moment. There is a possibility he could be going on loan to get games somewhere else. 

“So that would have to be the solution for him and the club. That was part of my thinking of not starting him today. 

“I gave him some minutes at the end but while we were looking at that I wanted to make sure it was the right thing for the club and for him and individually. So that’s why he didn’t start.”

According to transfer expert Fabrizio Romano, AC Milan have enquired about Tomori’s availability.
