Fikayo Tomori Set To Join AC Milan on Loan From Chelsea
AC Milan are hoping to complete the signing of Fikayo Tomori from Chelsea in the next 48 hours in order to hand him his debut on Saturday.
The Italian giants have been locked in talks with Chelsea this week over a loan move for the centre-back which includes an option to buy at around £25m.
Milan want to have Tomori at their disposal for their Serie A game against Atalanta on Saturday, and potentially ready to come straight into the starting line-up.
The Serie A leaders are in the midst of a defensive crisis as all of their senior centre-backs are unavailable – Simon Kjaer and Matteo Gabbia are sidelined and Alessio Romagnoli will be suspended.
That is likely to accelerate AC Milan’s move for Tomori, as Sky in Italy report they are hoping the 23-year-old will be able to fly into Italy by Thursday night in order for him to undergo a medical on Friday.
