Newcastle are lining up a loan move for Chelsea centre back Fikayo Tomori in the January transfer window, according to reports.

Tomori impressed during his breakthrough season at Chelsea last term, but has struggled for game-time this campaign due to Thiago Silva's arrival and Kurt Zouma's impressive form.

And according to the Telegraph, Newcastle are considering making a loan move for Tomori but they are expected to face tough competition from overseas with at least one big European club interested in his signature.
