Former Chelsea star Fikayo Tomori reveals Thomas Tuchel talks ahead of the World Cup
Tuchel has given Tomori positive feedback, but the Milan star admits he faces stiff competition for a place in the squad.
“I spoke to him after the last international break in November. We have spoken a few times and the message is to keep doing what I am doing,” Tomori told the club. BBC.
“The World Cup is in six months and there is still a lot of football to be played.
“I know he is watching and keeping an eye on him, because he has called up (teammate) Ruben Loftus-Cheek. That gives me the confidence that I can make it.”
“He came to Milan last season and I know he gets our data and sees our clips regularly.
“The way he talks about it is that it’s difficult because there are so many players in that position, and I understand it because you have players like John Stones, Marc Guehi, Dan Burn and Ezri Konsa.
“But the World Cup is still a dream and I am working towards that.”
