Fikayo Tomori 'didn't need long to decide' to join AC Milan on loan from Chelsea after receiving a phone call from 'one of the greatest-ever defenders' in Paolo Maldini

Fikayo Tomori says he didn't need to think twice about joining AC Milan after receiving a phone call from club legend Paolo Maldini ahead of the move.

Tomori completed a loan move to the Italian giants until the end of the season from Chelsea on January 22. The deal also includes Milan having an option to buy the centre back for £25million.

The 23-year-old was out of the picture at Chelsea, having just featured four times this term, it was a no-brainer for him once once of the game's greats in Maldini personally called him to join AC Milan.
