The England U21 international has never looked back since switching on loan from Stamford Bridge to the Pride Park and has gone on to form a formidable partnership with Richard Keogh at the rear of the team, starting an impressive 43 matches in all competitions already.

The Chelsea legend believes his performance for the Rams this season has been nothing short of sensational and has elevated him to a new price level.

"I think the way Fikayo Tomori has played this season has elevated him to another level of price, and quite rightly so," Lampard told Derby Telegraph UK.

"It is great he has done that for us and we have been part of his story this season."
