Chelsea fans have taken to social networking site Twitter to express their reactions after reports broke out that Leeds United are interested in signing Fikayo Tomori on loan in January.

The Whites are reportedly keeping tabs on the young central defender, and are likely to make a move for him when the transfer window re-opens next month.

The 22-year-old – who can play as a central defender or as a right-back – impressed heavily last season under Frank Lampard. He was linked with a move away from the club this summer, but Lampard wanted him to stay and fight for his place.

However, the youngster has struggled for regular games this season and has just managed 45 minutes of Premier League action so far.

He has dropped down the pecking order at the club, and a loan move away from Stamford Bridge will be beneficial for his career.

Many Chelsea fans feel that it would be a very good move for the youngster. Here are some of the selected tweets:

This deal should be done.
