West Ham are in talks with Chelsea over a late loan deal for Fikayo Tomori before time runs out on deadline day.
West Ham are in serious talks with Chelsea regarding a loan move for Fikayo Tomori.
In what could be a casualty for the deal, Jack Wilshere is close to exiting the Hammers.
West Ham have been keen on adding a central defender for the entire summer. They considered pursuing targets in the Championship after they failed to reach an agreement with Burnley for James Tarkowski. They could now turn their attention to a Premier League name in Tomori as per talkSPORT.
They will free up further funds for wages after negotiating an end to Wilshere’s time at the club.
He is set to become a free agent after an injury-plagued two-year spell at West Ham that included only 19 first-team appearances.
Meanwhile, Tomori has made only one substitute outing in the Premier League for Chelsea so far this term. Although, he did start in both Carabao Cup games over Barnsley and Tottenham.
The former Derby County loanee has been pushed further down Frank Lampard’s defensive pecking order by the summer arrival of Thiago Silva.
Meanwhile Rudiger is set to remain despite recent uncertainty surrounding his future.
All of these scenarios clears the way for Tomori to move out on loan should the Blues sanction it.
