Chelsea Boss Lampard Wants Tomori To Sign New Contract

Chelsea coach Frank Lampard has revealed that he wants Fikayo Tomori to commit his future to the club.

It has been widely reported that The Blues have started talks with the central defender to extend his contract until June 2024 and the London club are confident that they will reach an agreement with the player.

Tomori is a graduate of the Chelsea Academy and has been brought into the first team fold by Lampard after they were slapped with a transfer ban by FIFA.

The 21-year-old has shone since he forced his way into the starting line-up and has started the last six games in the Premier League, scoring against Wolverhampton Wanderers.

At his pre-match media conference on Friday afternoon, Lampard was asked if he wants new deals for Tomori and Abraham, and he answered : ''Of course I do, but that is out of my remit. I would want them. They are playing really well.''

Tomori's current contract with the Europa League holders runs out at the end of the 2020-2021 season.
