Frank Lampard has admitted exciting Chelsea star Tomori could be leaving the Bridge

Frank Lampard admits Newcastle United target Fikayo Tomori could leave Chelsea on loan this month.

The 23-year-old defender is on the fringes of the first-team picture at Stamford Bridge, despite the fact that he is regarded as one of the very best young defenders in the Premier League right now.

Tomori has made just four appearances this season – the latest being a 10-minute cameo in the FA Cup win over Morecambe, and that has led to alot of speculation in the media that a number of teams are interested in a possible deal.

Newcastle boss Steven Bruce is one boss that is seeking to improve his squad this transfer window with a few loan signings, and has been tipped to make a move for the Blues star now that he knows there is a serious chance of a deal getting done.

And now Lampard has admitted that Tomori could be on the move for the rest of the season after failing to make the starting XI for the Morecambe clash, Lampard told football.london: “The situation with Fikayo is open at the moment.

“There is a possibility he could be going on loan to get games somewhere else. That was part of my thinking of not starting him today.

“I gave him some minutes at the end but while we were looking at that I wanted to make sure it was the right thing for the club and for him and individually. So that’s why he didn’t start.”

If tis reports is true and he is going to leave the club by the end of the transfer window, it will be a massive blow to the squad, especially as we believed that he would develop into one of the very best in the Premier League.

It has been a shame to see that he hasnt been able to prove himself, yet, at the club
