According to Football Insider (h/t Football.london), Chelsea prefer to send Fikayo Tomori out on loan to a foreign club.
This despite the youngster garnering interest domestically from the likes of Newcastle United and Leeds United. Tomori has fallen down the pecking order at the Bridge, making just a handful of appearances for the first XI.

Tomori has also attracted attention from a number of continental sides. AC Milan are the latest and also the biggest overseas team linked with the Englishman.
A move to Italy would certainly be a boon for Tomori, who has seen his development stall in recent months. The opportunity to get more minutes is higher at the San Siro in comparison to Stamford Bridge.
Milan’s interest in Tomori is dependent on their pursuit of Mohamed Simakan. The Strasbourg youngster has been one of Ligue 1’s best talents this season and has also attracted attention from Stamford Bridge.
With Simakan now injured, chances of Tomori making the switch could be considered realistic.
Given that the youngster is a part of Lampard’s plans, it is surprising why we would not want to blood him in the Premier League. Both Conor Gallagher and Ruben Loftus-Cheek to an extent have benefitted this season from going out on loan to West Brom and Fulham respectively.
Tomori clearly has talent. But he is unlikely to fine tune it by sitting on the bench. Sending him out on loan is a no-brainer. However, where he eventually ends up remains to be seen.
