Tomori open to Derby return next season

Chelsea loanee Fikayo Tomori has revealed he would be open to spending a second season on loan with Derby County following his impressive campaign for the Rams.

Tomori was a key figure for Frank Lampard’s side throughout the 2018/19 season, and featured in Derby’s narrow 2-1 defeat in the Championship play-off final on Monday against Aston Villa.

And when asked by BBC East Midlands Sport about his future next season, Tomori revealed he would definitely consider returning to Pride Park for the 2019/20 campaign, BBC Sport report.

Of course. I have loved it. I grew so much as a player. Derby is such a great club. The manager has shown me a lot of confidence playing me in a lot of games. I have nothing but good words to say about Derby, the club, the fans and my team-mates.

I am really proud. We are disappointed and we are hurting, but we had such a fantastic season. Even though we lost, we still had a lot of good moments to look back on and cherish. I am not really thinking about Chelsea at the moment but we will see when the new season comes.

Tomori had been tipped to feature in Chelsea’s first team squad next season given his fine season with Derby.
