Chelsea are likely to allow a first-team star to leave Stamford Bridge on loan in January, while Manchester City ends their interest in Lionel Messi, all in the latest Paper Talk.
BLUES TO ALLOW TOMORI LOAN
Chelsea He is likely to allow defender Fikayo Tomori to leave Stamford Bridge on loan in January, according to a report.
The center-back played a vital role with Frank Lampard in the coach’s first season on the bench. In fact, he played 22 games in all competitions, including 15 in the Premier League.
This season, however, the 22 year old he has struggled for minutes, making only one appearance in the top flight. Other than that, he has only played twice in the Carabao Cup.
The English international, who was in the mind of Gareth Southgate last year, has fallen in the hierarchical order due to the arrival of Thiago Silva. The 36-year veteran has become Lampard’s first choice, forming a strong partnership with Kurt Zouma.
As such, The Telegraph reports that if Lampard remains injury free, Chelsea will make Tomori available in January.
The newspaper also notes that the defender will be one of the ‘high profile’ players on the market.
Indeed, despite having enjoyed a loan from championship teams to the Derby, and earlier at Brighton and Hull, he would attract the interest of Premier League clubs.
Everton was reportedly interested in the most recent transfer window but opted to sign Ben Godfrey from Norwich.
Tomori is the second Chelsea player to, as is, likely to leave Stamford Bridge in January. Forward Olivier Giroud has admitted that his level of playing time is “worrisome” before the European Championship next summer.
