A View From The Bridge

Talented Chelsea starlet closes in on season-long loan to PL rivals

Chelsea star Fikayo Tomori closes in on a season-long loan to Everton

According to Sky Sports, Chelsea star Fikayo Tomori is close to joining Premier League side Everton on loan.

The 22-year-old came through the youth ranks at Stamford Bridge. He enjoyed loan spells away at Brighton & Hove Albion, Hull City, and Derby County before becoming a first-team regular at Stamford Bridge last season.

His performances at the beginning of last season even saw him earn a call-up to the England squad. However, injuries and a loss in form saw appearances at a premium as the season wore on.

Fikayo Tomori could be loaned out to Chelsea this summer

With Brazilian veteran Thiago Silva joining the club, Tomori will have to face more competition for game time next season.

With that in mind, a loan deal could see him continue his development elsewhere. Tomori looked set to joining Ligue 1 side Rennes but that now appears to have changed.

Everton are keen to bring in the Chelsea star after missing out on Arsenal defender Gabriel Magalhaes.

Everton have previously taken Kurt Zouma on loan, in 2018/19. The Frenchman enjoyed a rather successful spell at Goodison Park, eventually returning to become a regular at the Bridge. Tomori too could follow in his teammate’s shoes.

Tomori made 22 appearances for Chelsea in the 2019/20 season. Only three of them came after the turn of the year.

An anonymous presence since the restart, a fresh start at Goodison Park could help revive his career. The youngster’s goal against Wolverhampton Wanderers was voted the 2019/20 Chelsea Goal of the Season.
