Fikayo Tomori has received praise from Thiago Silva, a defender for Chelsea, in advance of tonight's UEFA Champions League match against AC Milan.
Since joining the Serie A champions from Chelsea in January 2020, Tomori has flourished at AC Milan.
Regarding their back line, he stated at a press conference: "For certainly [Fikayo] Tomori. Before he made the decision to join Milan, I got to know him and spent a few months [at Chelsea] with him.
“I knew it wouldn’t have been easy for him to change country and culture, but he proved to be very good. He has consolidated his ability and skills, and I always say for a defender, the best football school you could have is here in Italy.
“I’m happy for him because he is a very developed and grown-up player. There is going to be great emotion tomorrow night. My wife was very moved when we were in London, and we played against Milan.
“So for sure, tomorrow night, my wife will cry for the emotion, but in the end, I hope we will be able to laugh together after a win. That is the most important part of tomorrow.”
