Nigerian Defender Tipped To Replace Chelsea Legend Cahill Next Season
Published: May 07, 2019
Chelsea's Nigeria defender Fikayo Tomori has emerged as one of the strong candidates to help shore up the Blues backline next season following his scintillating loan spell with Derby County this season
Tomori, 21, played a very pivotal role in the Rams landing a play-off berth via their Championship finish in the just concluded campaign and even picked up the club's POTY gong.
With most of the Blues central defenders the likes of Tomas Kalas and Gary Cahill who has won virtually every title at the club linked with the exit door at the end of the season, Foootball London has tipped the youngster to become one of Maurizio Sarri's trusted men in defence next term.
Having also developed with the knowledge from his loan stints at Brighton and Hull City, it is envisaged that he has garnered the requisite required to strut his stuff with the Premier League giants.
He made his professional debut for Chelsea in a 1–1 draw with Leicester City on 15th May, 2016 when he replaced Branislav Ivanović.
