Fikayo Tomori, born on 19 December 1997 (age 28), is an England central defender whose career has been shaped most clearly by AC Milan. His early senior years were built through loan football, the necessary hard miles for a young defender learning the less forgiving parts of the job.
That development eventually took him to Milan, where he became far more than a passing import. Wearing squad number 23, he has made 163 league appearances for AC Milan across seven seasons, scoring six league goals. His best scoring season came in 2023-24, when he got four goals in 26 league appearances – useful enough, though defending remains the point of the exercise.
The 2026-27 season has so far been a smaller part of the story, with three AC Milan appearances across Serie A, the Supercoppa and the Europa League. His current market value is around £14.5m, according to Transfermarkt.
Tomori’s career is not defined by a scatter of early moves, but by the sustained body of work he has put together in Italy. From loan-football grounding to a long AC Milan spell, it is a solid modern career for an English centre-half who found his main stage away from home.
