2017–2019: Loans to Championship clubs

On 23 January 2017, Tomori joined Championship club Brighton & Hove Albion on loan for the remainder of the 2016–17 season. [12] Five days later, Tomori made his Brighton debut in a 3–1 away defeat against National League team Lincoln City in the FA Cup fourth round, in which he scored an own goal to give Lincoln the lead. [13] On 18 February 2017, Tomori made his league debut for Brighton, in their 2–0 away victory against Barnsley, replacing Anthony Knockaert in stoppage time of the second half.

Loan spell

On 22 January 2021, Tomori joined Serie A club AC Milan on loan for the remainder of the 2020–21 season with an option to buy. [25] Four days later, he made his debut in the Coppa Italia quarter-final against Inter Milan in the Derby della Madonnina, coming on as a substitute for the injured Simon Kjær in a 2–1 away defeat. [26] On 9 May, Tomori scored his first goal for Milan in a 3–0 away league win over rivals Juventus. [27] Tomori became the first Englishman to score for Milan since David Beckham in 2009 and it was the club's first away win against Juventus in the league since March 2011. [28]

2021–22 season

On 17 June 2021, Tomori signed a permanent deal with Milan until 30 June 2025, after the club exercised their £25m buy option from his previous loan. [29] He scored his first goal of the season on 7 December, against Liverpool in a Champions League match which Milan lost 2–1. [30] With his teammate Simon Kjær out of action for the remainder of the season due to injury, Tomori became a regular in the starting line-up. On 12 March 2022, as Milan won 1–0 against Empoli, they managed to secure two clean sheets in a row for the first time in 2022, courtesy of Tomori partnering in defence with Pierre Kalulu. [31] Tomori ended his first full season in Italy as a Serie A champion, as Milan won its first Scudetto in 11 years with the best defensive record in the division. [32] In October 2022, he was one of two central defenders named in the 2021–22 Serie A Team of the Year by the Italian Footballers' Association. [33]

2022–23 season

On 12 August 2022, Tomori signed a new contract with Milan until June 2027. [34] He scored his first goal of the 2022–23 season in a 2–0 win over Juventus on 8 October 2022.

[37] Milan eventually reached the semi-finals of the competition for the first time since winning the competition in the 2006–07 season but were knocked out 3–0 on aggregate by city rivals Inter. [38]

International career

Canada

On 27 March 2016, Tomori captained Canada U20 to a 2–1 victory over England U20 on his third appearance for the nation. [41] [42]

England

Youth

On 16 May 2016, in the next international break and a day after making his professional club debut, Tomori was called up to the England U19 squad. [41] On 4 June, Tomori made his England U19 debut in a 2–0 defeat against Mexico U20s, playing the full 90 minutes. [43] Tomori was also part of the England 2016 UEFA European Under-19 Championship squad which reached the semi-finals before being knocked out by Italy. [44]

Tomori was selected for the England under-20 team in the 2017 FIFA U-20 World Cup. Tomori however scored an own goal in England's second group game against Guinea. [45] Nevertheless, Tomori would help England beat Venezuela in the final 1–0, which was England's first win in a global tournament since their World Cup victory of 1966. [46]

On 27 May 2019, Tomori was included in England's 23-man squad for the 2019 UEFA European Under-21 Championship. [47] He started in all three matches as England were knocked out in the group stage. [48] [49] [50]

Senior

On 3 October 2019, Tomori received his first call-up to the England senior squad for Euro 2020 qualifying matches against Czechia and Bulgaria. [51] He later said he was committed to playing for England, following interest from Nigeria and Canada; he had previously represented Canada at youth level. [52] Tomori made his debut for England on 17 November against Kosovo in a Euro 2020 qualifier. [53]

After being absent from the squad for almost two years, Tomori was recalled for England's 2022 FIFA World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Hungary in October 2021. He won his second cap as a second-half substitute for John Stones in the 5–0 win over Andorra on 9 October. [54]

On 11 June 2022, Tomori made his first start for England in a 2022–23 UEFA Nations League fixture against Italy. [55]

Tomori was not selected for the 2022 FIFA World Cup [56] and was absent from the England squad until his recall for the September 2023 internationals, where he was an unused substitute against Ukraine and Scotland. [57] On 13 October 2023, he made his first international appearance in 16 months, starting as a left-back in England's 1–0 friendly win over Australia at Wembley Stadium. [58]

Style of play

Tomori is known for his fast running and hard tackling. Confident in possession and comfortable with the ball at both of his feet, he can play in most defensive positions of different formations. While usually a centre-back on the right side, he regularly plays on the left side as well, due to his ability with the left foot. On a few occasions, he also played as a full-back on either side of the pitch, both on club and national team levels. However, his primary position still remains in central defense, preferably in a high defensive line. Although not known as a long passer, he can quickly and accurately pass the ball to teammates in the team's own half on the pitch in attempts to either organize an attack or continue to keep possession of the ball. Standing at 1.85 m (6 ft 1 in), an average height for a central defender, he often comes out as a winner in aerial duels, courtesy of his jumping and heading abilities, which led him to score several goals following set-pieces like free kicks and corner kicks. [59] [60] [61]

Personal life

In July 2021, Tomori completed a degree in Business Management through the Open University. [62] [63]
