Leeds United 'lining up loan move for Fikayo Tomori'

Leeds United are reportedly keen to bring Chelsea centre-back Fikayo Tomori to Elland Road on loan.

The 23-year-old stayed with the Blues over the summer despite a host of interest, but he has struggled for action during the 2020-21 campaign, making just three appearances in all competitions.

Tomori has played just 44 minutes of Premier League football this term, meanwhile, and has not even been in the squad for 11 of the team's last 12 top-flight fixtures.

According to BBC Sport, Leeds are 'the likeliest destination' for the defender, with the Whites looking to sign a replacement for the injured Robin Koch.

Tomori only signed a new long-term deal with Frank Lampard's side in December 2019, and it is thought that the capital giants are only prepared to allow him to leave on loan rather than on a permanent deal.

Leeds are also allegedly preparing to offer Patrick Bamford a new and improved contract.
