''I spoke to both of them before coming here and it's good to have some familiar faces here already," Tomori told Hull City's official website.
"It was a factor in me coming here. To be fair, Ola has been on at me to come up here ever since he made the move!
"I'm pleased to be here now. Obviously I was away with England when I signed, so the excitement has been building for a few days and I'm looking forward to getting started."
