Chelsea are ready to release Fikayo Tomori for loan again this season.

The London Evening Standard says the Blues are planning to send Tomori out on loan again with a number of Premier League clubs interested.

The 21-year-old was a key feature under Frank Lampard at Derby last term and has continued to impress under the new Blues boss in pre-season.

The England Under-21 international remains highly-rated at the Stamford Bridge club having progressed through the academy.

But Chelsea's squad depth in central defence means Lampard is planning to loan out Tomori again amid interest from sides in the Premier League, including Burnley, Bundesliga and the Primavera.
