After his fellow Cobham graduate Ruben Loftus-Cheek appeared on the first episode of MilanTV’s series ‘Gameplay’, Fikayo Tomori has now been welcomed onto the show to discuss his role as a defender and what it means to play for AC Milan. 

Since joining Milan, Tomori has gone from strength to strength at an incredible rate and has proved he can take the club forward with his good performances. With every passing season, the Englishman continues to prove why his former club made the mistake of parting with him.

However, for reasons out of the defender’s hands, this season, he has not been able to show his abilities to the best of his abilities due to him suffering a hamstring injury against Salernitana. Given the 26-year-old returned from the injury this week, it will be hoped that he can return to his best quickly as the Diavolo look to go deep into the Europa League.

Finally, with the European Championship in Germany this summer, he will aim to give Gareth Southgate a headache about his defensive selections in the months leading up to the tournament.

Tomori spoke to MilanTV about his role in the team and Milan’s targets for the future – his words have been relayed by PianetaMilan.

Do your feel like a modern defender?

“Yes, I would say yes. I try to adapt my game based on the opponents I face, opponents who have different strengths and characteristics from mine. I do my best to always add something to my game, I try to improve as much as possible.
