Fikayo Tomori has revealed that another Chelsea loanee Tammy Abraham advised him to join Championship side Brighton & Hove Albion.

The talented Chelsea defender completed his switch to the Seagulls on Monday by penning a five-month deal that will keep him at the club until the end of the season.

“Everyone knows that Tammy and I are close and he said that Brighton are a top team and every time you play against Brighton, it’s a hard game.

“I’m not here to score 18 goals like he has, but to keep them out! I want to play as much as I can, improve as much as I can and help the team. That’s the main thing.”

Tomori, 19, was named Chelsea Young Player of the Year at the end of last season after helping the Blues win the UEFA Youth League and FA Youth Cup.
