Tomori set for Everton loan

Fabrizio Romano of The Guardian, Ryan Taylor of The Express, and Paddy Boyland and Simon Johnson of The Athletic suggest that the 22-year-old could join the Blues after the Londoners signed free agent Thiago Silva.

Tomori has cut his teeth with loan spells at Brighton, Hull City and Derby County in recent seasons and is seen as a valuable addition to bolster Carlo Ancelotti's options at centre-half.

Rennes were said to be strong suitors to take the Canadian-born centre-half this season but it appears as though Everton have stolen a march in being able to keep him in the Premier League.

The Athletic say that, "talks are progressing well between the two sides" in reviving a loan deal that was mooted last summer and which has been revived in the wake of Mason Holgate's pre-season injury which looks likely to keep him out of the season-opener at Tottenham on Sunday and possibly a few weeks beyond.

Sky Sports also report that the Toffees are "closing in" on a loan deal for Tomori.
