According to French media outlet L’Equipe, Ligue 1 club Rennes are in talks with Chelsea over a deal for Fikayo Tomori.

Rennes, who have qualified for next season’s Champions League, wish to strengthen their defence with a move for Tomori.

The 22 year old started the 2019-20 season impressively after returning to Stamford Bridge from a loan spell at Derby County but has slipped down the pecking order.

It isn’t yet known if Rennes want a loan deal or permanent deal for the 22 year old defender, who signed a new deal at the club in December until 2024.
