# Everton: Fans love loan link to Chelsea ace Fikayo Tomori

**Plenty of Everton fans have been loving a link to Fikayo Tomori as [ESPN](https://www.espn.co.uk/football/soccer-transfers/story/4176007/chelsea-set-to-sign-goalkeeper-mendy-for-18m-sources) have reported that the Chelsea ace is close to joining the Merseyside club on loan for the new 2020/21 term.**

According to the outlet, the English international has attracted interest from a number of teams including Rennes and Newcastle United but Carlo Ancelotti’s side are thought to be in pole position with talks at an advanced stage.
