Chelsea have been made left to rue Frank Lampard’s call over centre-back Fikayo Tomori, who has helped inspire AC Milan to the Serie A title this season.
As Stefano Pioli’s side won the Scudetto for the first time in 11 years, Tomori, a product of the Blues’ academy, played 31 of Milan’s 38 Serie A matches in helping them claim a 19 th top-flight title and only their third in the 21 st century.
Tomori was playing his first full season at the San Siro this term alongside former Blues teammate Olivier Giroud, ex-Man Utd striker Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Chelsea loanee Tiemoue Bakayoko. The Canadian-born centre-back joined the club permanently for around £25m in the summer, having spent the second half of last season on loan there from Stamford Bridge.
