Some Leeds United fans on Twitter are getting excited after links to Chelsea defender Fikayo Tomori emerged this week.
The centre-back has impressed in the past for Chelsea, but the arrival of Thiago Silva this season has seen him slip down the pecking order at Stamford Bridge.

It is somewhat surprising to see that Leeds fans were so pleased to see Tomori linked after-all, he was a part of the Derby County squad who beat Leeds in the playoffs back in 2019, and he seems to be a favourite of Frank Lampard, a man who United supporters aren’t too fond of.
