He kept 15 clean sheets featuring in Chelsea’s backline in all competitions with five coming consecutively while keeping his slate clean with not even a yellow card.
Tomori contributed immensely to the San Siro team who finished second behind Inter Milan in the 2020-2021 season, spurring the side to a UEFA Champions League berth.
