Fikayo Tomori has joined Brighton & Hove Albion on loan until the end of the season.
Tomori moves to the AMEX Stadium for his first spell away from Stamford Bridge.
The 19-year-old, who can play in central defence or at right-back, was part of the Academy teams of Chelsea which won the FA Youth Cup and UEFA Youth League in both 2014/15 and 2015/16.
Tomori also won the Chelsea Academy Player of the Year award last season following a string of impressive performances, making his debut for the first team on the final day of last season in a 1-1 draw against Leicester City.
