Chelsea FC defender, Oluwafikayomi Oluwadamilola Tomori has joined Brighton & Hove Albion on loan till the end of the season.
Born in Canada, Tomori, 19 has played for England at Under-20 level and made his debut at Chelsea on the final day of last season against Premier League champions Leicester City.
The Seagulls' manager, Chris Hughton told the club's official website that Tomori will provide additional cover.
"We have brought in Fikayo on loan from Chelsea to provide us with some additional cover in the full-back positions, and we are delighted to welcome him to the club.
"He is a highly-rated young full-back, by both Chelsea and England; he is predominantly a right-back, but he can play in any position across the back four, and will give us good defensive cover for the first-team for the second half of the season.
"Currently we have a few minor injury issues in the full-back positions, so his arrival will also allow us to send Rob Hunt out on loan to gain valuable playing experience; at this stage of Rob's development, it will benefit his long-term progression to be playing regular senior football.
