Fikayo Tomori moves to Derby County on loan from Chelsea

Chelsea youngster Fikayo Tomori has completed a season-long loan move to Derby County.

After securing deals for fellow Blues teammate Mason Mount, Liverpool highly-rated winger Harry Wilson, Florian Jozefzoon, Jack Marriott and George Evans, Frank Lampard welcomed the versatile defender to the Pride Park Stadium this summer.

This deal represents the third time Tomori would be allowed to leave Stamford Bridge on a temporary, with the 2016-17 campaign spent at Hull City.

With the Tigers, he played 25 times in the English Championship, and Lampard is delighted with the signing of a new centre-back option.

"We’re really pleased to bring Fikayo in to provide us with another defensive option in central defence because, over the course of the season, we will need to be adaptable and have competition all over the pitch," Lampard told club website.
