Chelsea's World Cup Winner Of Nigerian Descent Wanted By Bundesliga, La Liga Clubs

Chelsea defender Fikayo Tomori is attracting interest from clubs overseas after displaying his skills at the recently concluded Fifa U20 World Cup in South Korea.

The Evening Standard claims the Premier League champions plan to send him to a top Championship club next term or even an outfit in the Bundesliga, Ligue 1 or La Liga to continue his development.

Although specific clubs were not mentioned by the newspaper, allnigeriasoccer.com understands that Borussia Dortmund, Paris Saint-Germain and Marseille were among the clubs that scouted the outstanding talents at the World Cup.

The 19-year-old Tomori started all the matches contested by the Young Lions in South Korea, and helped goalkeeper Freddie Woodman to post four shutouts and win the Golden Glove award.

The centre back spent the second half of last season on loan at Premier League new boys Brighton & Hove.
