AC Milan defender, Fikayo Tomori has come out to say that he is happy to have escaped his comfort zone at Chelsea. He recently revealed that this is the case because he now knows that there is more to life than the EPL.
According to him, it is surely a positive thing that a lot of English players are starting to move out of the country to play football, as it lets them experience something different.
He added that being out of his comfort zone in England will surely make him a better player in the long run.
His words, “A lot more people are realising that there’s more to football than the Premier League and England,”
“I speak to a lot of English players and they always say: ‘How come players from Brazil or Argentina move at 16, 17 yet English players don’t seem to go out of England a lot.”
“I think it’s definitely a positive that many young English players want to leave England and are willing to try something new, to learn new languages and a different style of play. That’s only going to benefit them and the national team as well.”
“Going abroad gives you a different view on football as whole rather than just Premier League and England and being in the comfort zone. Being out of your comfort zone can definitely develop a person and a player as well.”
“When I knew coming to Milan was a possibility, I spoke to a lot of players that had played in Italy: Jorginho, Emerson [Palmieri], Toni Rudiger and Mateo Kovacic, who played for Inter, so I asked him how Milan was.”
“I spoke to Thiago very briefly because his English isn’t that great, but no one had a bad word to say about Milan or Serie A.”
