Premier League side Newcastle United are reportedly considering making a move for Chelsea defender Fikayo Tomori when the January 2021 transfer window opens.

Newcastle United have been struggling this term in the English topflight and manager of the side Steve Bruce is planning to bolster his squad next month.

Last season, Fikayo Tomori enjoyed active games under Frank Lampard before the season was suspended because of COVID-19, but the Englishman did not play any game for Chelsea when the League resumed.

This term at Stamford Bridge, Fikayo Tomori's active game time has been affected by the arrival of Thiago Silva and also the return of Antonio Rudiger to the Blues' first team.

According to the report on UK Sun, Newcastle United chiefs are planning to offer Fikayo Tomori a deal which would convince him to leave Stamford Bridge.

Chelsea are also said to have made it clear that they can only allow Fikayo Tomori to leave on loan putting Newcastle United in good position to sign him.

So far this season in the Premier League, Fikayo Tomori has played only 45 minutes for the Blues and even failed to make the bench in Blues's last five ties.

Chelsea are currently occupying third position on the Premier League table with 19 points after 1o games played so far this term.

Earlier, Legit.ng had reported how Chelsea look like the most likely team to sign veteran Bayern Munich defender David Alaba when he becomes a free agent, reports claim.

Alaba who can play as a center-back or a left-back defender will not sign a new deal with the Bundesliga giants after the offer of a new contract was taken off the table.

The Austrian's contract at the Allianz Arena is set to expire at the end of the season with Real Madrid, Juventus and Paris Saint-Germain also in position to sign the defender.

It is understood that Chelsea want to sign a pre-contract with the 28-year-old in January to secure a move in the summer.

Spanish news media outlet AS claims the Blues will send a representative to Alaba's agent during the January window to persuade him to join the Stamford Bridge outfit.

Alaba has nine league titles and two Champions League trophies and would become a perfect blend with Frank Lampard's youthful squad.
