Fikayo Tomori 'in line for new Chelsea deal'

Chelsea have reportedly opened contract talks with central defender Fikayo Tomori.

The 21-year-old impressed during a loan spell at Derby County last season before returning to Stamford Bridge following Frank Lampard's appointment as head coach.

Tomori made his first-team debut for the Blues during the 2015-16 campaign but had to continue his development through loan spells at Brighton & Hove Albion, Hull City and Derby.

The defender has now started Chelsea's last three matches, while he scored his first goal for the club in Saturday's 5-2 win over Wolverhampton Wanderers in the Premier League.

Tomori will see his current deal at Stamford Bridge expire in June 2021, but according to The Guardian, the London club have opened talks over a new five-year contract.

Tammy Abraham is also said to be in line for a new five-year deal, having struck seven times in all competitions during a strong start to the 2019-20 campaign.
