Chelsea defender Fikayo Tomori says he was convinced about a loan move to Brighton by teammate Tammy Abraham.

Abraham is currently starring on-loan with Bristol City.

The Chelsea starlet told Brighton's official website: "I know a couple of players in the Championship that have played against Brighton, and they said they're a really good team and really hard to play against.

"I've watched a couple of their games in the Championship, including the Sheffield Wednesday game recently. There were a few whispers about a possible move at the time, and to be here and involved now is great.

"Everyone knows that Tammy and I are close and he said that Brighton are a top team and every time you play against Brighton, it's a hard game.

"I'm not here to score 18 goals like he has, but to keep them out! I want to play as much as I can, improve as much as I can and help the team. That's the main thing."
