AC Milan 'to make Fikayo Tomori decision in May'

AC Milan will reportedly decide in May whether to sign Chelsea defender Fikayo Tomori on a permanent deal during this summer's transfer window.

The 23-year-old joined Milan on loan in January and has been an important player for the Italian giants since his arrival, making 11 appearances in all competitions.

A recent report claimed that the Serie A outfit have been delighted with Tomori's performances, while Chelsea regret allowing him to leave in the winter window.

Milan will be able to sign the centre-back on a permanent basis for €28m (£23.9m) this summer, and according to Italian journalist Fabrizio Romano, a final decision from the club will be made in May.

"AC Milan are "so happy" with Fikayo Tomori impact and performances - the board will decide in May on the €28m buy option," Romano posted on his official Twitter account.

The England international has made 27 first-team appearances for Chelsea.
