Fikayo Tomori’s smooth transition to playing for Milan could help Chelsea’s attempts to lure a key target to Stamford Bridge.

Tomori, 23, penned a six-month loan deal with the Serie A challengers in January. He barely kicked a ball in anger for the Blues in the first half of the season.

The England centre-back made four appearances, with just one coming in the Premier League. The decision was taken to loan him to the San Siro giants and it seems to be paying off.

Tomori has made five appearances in all competitions and has settled well in Italy. It is always tough to move to a foreign country midway through a campaign.

But the Canadian-born ace has taken to it like the proverbial duck to water.

“Personally I always liked the idea of living in a different country, it wasn’t much of a shock mentally, I always thought it would be nice,” he told Sky Sports.

“I’m enjoying it, obviously I can’t see my family as much but luckily we have FaceTime so I can keep in touch. I’m trying to make the most of the experience, trying to better myself, learn the language and understand the language.”
