Chelsea fans are keen on the idea of Fikayo Tomori joining Leeds United on loan.

BBC Sport have suggested that Leeds are the favourites to land Tomori in January.

And Chelsea supporters believe that a move to Elland Road could suit the central defender down to the ground.

Tomori has struggled for minutes with Chelsea this term, so a move to Leeds could benefit him.

Marcelo Bielsa’s highly demanding style would certainly help him to improve his one-on-one defending, and he would have the required speed to feature the Whites’ backline.

Leeds are also currently short of central defensive options, with Robin Koch and Diego Llorente both out injured.

If Tomori was to sign he would, therefore, have a direct route into their first-team.

Leeds have the second worst defensive record in the Premier League so far this term, after conceding 33 times in their 17 games to date.
