AC Milan defender Fikayo Tomori: New signings settling in well

AC Milan defender Fikayo Tomori says preseason is running well.

Tomori was speaking after their friendly against Valencia, which ended in a penalty shootout defeat.

“We didn't manage to win on penalties, but the pre-season goal is to get fit, it was nice to see fans back in the stadium," Tomori told Milan TV.

"We are feeling good, no injuries, so good, and now we wait for Real Madrid on Saturday. Another tough game and a good opportunity to get some match fitness," the former Chelsea man continued.

“I'm ready for the season, I'm excited about it, I am feeling really happy, everyone is really happy, so I hope we can continue.

“The new signings are all integrating well. There are many French players, so everyone can kind of speak to each other. They are also trying their Italian, like Mike [Maignan] today in the changing room.

“As the goalkeeper, he was saying where they should stay in the set pieces in Italian. Stuff like that is obviously good for the team."
