Fikayo Tomori pushes Chelsea’s permanent exit in January
According to The Athletic (h / t The Metro), Chelsea defender Fikayo Tomori is pushing to leave the club for good in January.
The 23-year-old made his breakthrough in the first team last season and enjoyed a streak of games with Frank Lampard. However, he has fallen into the pecking order and only made three appearances during the current campaign.
Thiago Silva and Kurt Zouma are the club’s favorite central-defense pairing this season. With players like Andreas Christensen and Antonio Rudiger also available, Tomori’s chances of becoming a regular are somewhat suspect.
According to the report, the Blues also struggle with the youth’s concentration and aerial dexterity.
Tomori continues to be highly regarded by the club. However, the player has been frustrated due to his limited opportunities. Having spent this season as a fringe player, he is willing to leave him at Bridge.
Meanwhile, Chelsea are interested in putting the player on loan once the window opens in January. Players such as Leeds United, Newcastle United and Rennes have been linked to the young defender.
Tomori could have left the club last summer on loan. The likes of West Ham United were interested, only for the player to decline the opportunity.
Frank Lampard had recently admitted that Tomori could find it difficult to earn regular playing time at Chelsea. Now 23, you will do well to secure a move and resurrect your career elsewhere.

Since both parties have reservations regarding the player’s prospects at the club, an amicable parting of the ways would be the best solution.
Chelsea have players like Ethan Ampadu and Marc Guehi on loan. If any of them can reach their potential, Tomori is unlikely to be a player the Blues will miss.
