Fikayo Tomori: AC Milan - £25m

Fikayo Tomori is enjoying life in the Serie A and has helped Milan to a strong start in the league, with the club second in the league table.

His strong form has also earned him a recall into the England national team for this month’s World Cup qualifiers against Andorra and Hungry.

This is his first England call in two years and proof that there is life after Chelsea.
