Fans OFFICIALLY told that ‘it’s almost certain’ that defender will be completing Chelsea transfer deal in January
Chelsea defender Fikayo Tomori is set to leave the club on loan in January, Blues fans have been told.
Tomori made an impact on this Chelsea side last season when Frank Lampard have him chance to shine in the first-team, and many believed that he would be the perfect partner to play alongside Thiago Silva at the back this season.
However, he has dropped down the pecking order at the club this season and is struggling to get any minutes on the pitch, With Lampard preferring Kurt Zouma alongside the Brazilian, which has led to alot of speculation heading into the January window.
But now, with the window just a few days away, Crooks has opened up and told Chelsea fans that Tomori is all set to leave the club on a loan deal, TalkSPORT’s Alex Crook said: “It’s almost certain that he will leave Stamford Bridge on loan next season, he’s only featured in one Premier League or Champions League game this season.
“There was interest from West Ham in the summer, but he walked away from a move to the London Stadium at the eleventh hour on Deadline Day.
“Leeds have also expressed an interest, but I’m told Rennes is now the most likely destination for Tomori.
“They tried to sign him as part of Edouard Mendy’s move to Chelsea and talks have remained ongoing.”
There is no doubt that Tomori is a brilliantly gifted talent that needed game time to make a real impact, so the fact that he cant get into the first team, is a real shame and fans will hate to see him leave in the next window.
But he needs to play on a weekly basis if he is to develop into a top class defender.
