Derby have signed defender Fikayo Tomori on a season-long loan from Chelsea.
The England U21 international becomes the Rams' sixth signing of the summer, and their second from manager Frank Lampard's former club.
Tomori follows in the footsteps of midfielder Mason Mount, who scored on his Derby debut after also joining on loan from Chelsea.
Speaking to the Derby website about his new signing, Lampard said: "We're really pleased to bring Fikayo in to provide us with another defensive option.
"He fits the profile for us; he is a talented young player and he has already got experience in the Championship from his loans at Brighton and Hull.
