Fikayo Tomori signs new five-year contract with Chelsea
Chelsea youngster Fikayo Tomori has committed his long-term future to the club by signing a new five-year contract.
The defender, 21, has made 16 appearances for the Blues this season which has also seen him earn his first England cap.

Tomori’s new deal keeps him at the London club until the summer of 2024.
“It’s obviously a very proud moment for myself and my family,” Tomori, a graduate of Chelsea’s academy, said on the club website.
“I’ve been at the club since I was seven years old so I don’t really know much else other than Chelsea.
“The club has been so good to me, looking after and developing me during that time into the player and the person I am today.
“It’s a dream come true to sign a new five-year contract. I’m really happy the club have shown this faith in me and I’m just excited to carry on.”
Tomori has been one of the main beneficiaries of Frank Lampard believing in the youth
Tomori starred for Frank Lampard during a loan spell with Derby last season. And, after he took the managerial reins at Stamford Bridge, Lampard wasted no time in promoting Tomori to the first-team.
