With the World Cup just weeks away, the focus is turning towards the national team selection.
Fikayo Tomori is a player who is regularly being called up to the England squad.
Since his move away from England, Tomori has racked up over 60 appearances in all competitions for Italian giants AC Milan.
Tomori has featured in the UEFA Champions League and last season he won Serie A, making 31 league appearances.
The question on a lot of England fans lips is: Should Tomori start for England?
Many people are aware of his fantastic achievements in Italy and therefore argue that the centre-back should play.
Others are unsure of his ability because he plays his football away from the Premier League.
In this scout report, we will provide a tactical analysis of Fikayo Tomori and offer a clear breakdown of how he fits into AC Milans tactical approach.

Fikayo Tomori plays as a centre-back and during his time at AC Milan, he has been used as a left-sided centre-back in a 4-2-3-1 formation.
By playing on the left side, his weaker left foot has now become much stronger and Tomori is comfortable using it.
During his time at Chelsea, he occasionally played in a back three.
Again, he featured on the left side of this setup.
