He has made a huge impression in Milan, playing 19 times in all competitions.

But Tomori saved his biggest performance for Sunday’s stunning victory in Turin.

The England centre-back netted one of three goals for Milan as the former champions crumbled at home.

But there was an even more extraordinary moment when Tomori went to challenge Ronaldo for a loose pass.

Both men charged towards the stray ball as it moved at speed towards the edge of Milan’s penalty area.

They both arrived at the same time, with Ronaldo, 36, looking like he may even get the first foot in.

However, Tomori casually stepped in front of the Portuguese legend at the last second, winning the ball while sending Ronaldo crashing to the floor.

The 3-0 result sent Milan three points clear of Juventus in the battle for a Champions League spot.

And the San Siro side are now eager to finalise a permanent £25million deal for Tomori, who they claim is eager to join them from Stamford Bridge.

Boss Stefano Pioli revealed: “We want to buy Tomori on a permanent deal from Chelsea.

“Our intention is clear and also Fikayo’s decision [to stay at Milan].

“We’ll see what happens at the end of the season.”

Whether Thomas Tuchel wants to keep Tomori or not remains to be seen, with the ace struggling for minutes under former gaffer Frank Lampard.

However, Chelsea are now playing a system with three centre-backs.

Minus versatile veteran right-back Cesar Azpilicueta, there are just four natural players for those spots.

And Tuchel may want Tomori back in London to help him build a new Blues dynasty.
