Chelsea defender Fikayo Tomori is hoping to emulate John Terry by staying put with the club for the long-term. The England international made his breakthrough under Frank Lampard in early September and his consistent performances over the next few months contributed to him making his debut for the England national side.

They huffed and puffed until the got to the final third, there wasn’t any quality into the box or into either front man for us to see a bit of magic. You never came off your seat once in the whole game. Not super clearly yet. I still think it’s a work in progress, the problem has been the inconsistency.”
