Everton Interested In Signing Chelsea's Nigerian Defender

Published: July 29, 2019

Chelsea defender Fikayo Tomori could be on his way to Goodison Park this summer as he's being linked with a move to Everton by Sky Sports.

According to the British media, the Toffees are looking at their chances of luring the Nigeria-eligible youngster and Southampton's Mario Lemina to the Merseyside club before the summer transfer window comes to an end in two weeks time.

The England U21 international would struggle for game time if he remains at Chelsea as he is behind David Luiz, Antonio Rudiger, Andreas Christensen and Kurt Zouma in Frank Lampard's pecking order of central defenders.

Tomori is seen as an alternative to Zouma who is in the plans of manager Lampard for the upcoming season.

The 21-year-old previously enjoyed loan spells at Brighton & Hove, Hull City and Derby County.
