Maldini – a Milan legend of over 900 appearances also said: “Tomori is a player who has particular characteristics of speed and intensity and for us, he was a reinforcement.”

The 23-year-old Chelsea academy graduate was playing over usual first-choice Alessio Romagnoli and alongside Simon Kjaer.

Tomori fell out of favour under previous Chelsea boss Frank Lampard, after the Blues signed Thiago Silva and opted to keep hold of Antonio Rudiger last summer.
