Milan are close to agreeing a deal to sign Chelsea centre-back Fikayo Tomori
on loan with a £25m option to buy.
Milan have been tracking the 23-year-old, along with Strasbourg defender
Mohamed Simakan, their initial principle target.
But with Simakan out for around two months as he requires surgery, a move to
the San Siro for Tomori now looks more likely if the two clubs can thrash
out the details.
Tomori came through the ranks at Stamford Bridge but has only played 27
times for Chelsea in all competitions since making his first-team debut for
them in May 2016.
He has subsequently had loan spells with Brighton, Hull and Derby and is now
set to add Milan to that list.
Several Premier League clubs have also expressed an interest in Tomori but
may need to move players out before bringing in another centre-back.
Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has already confirmed that Tomori can go out on
loan during the January transfer window after being reluctant to let him
leave in the summer while Antonio Rudiger was close to leaving the Blues.
