# Hull City trying to sign Chelsea youngster

Hull City are trying to sign Chelsea youngster Fikayo Tomori on loan, according to the [Hull Daily Mail](https://www.hulldailymail.co.uk/sport/football/football-news/hull-city-trying-sign-chelsea-408987).

The deal will be a hard one to complete, as the 19-year-old is on England U21 duty.

Tomori joined Chelsea at Under-8 level and has become a product of the youth academy. He played a huge part in helping the Chelsea youth side win the FA Youth Cup in consecutive seasons, and made his professional debut as a substitute in a 1-1 draw against then-champions Leicester last season.

He spent part of last season on loan at Brighton and Hove Albion, making nine appearances as the Seagulls earned promotion to the Premier League.

He has represented England U19s and 20s on the international stage, despite beginning in the Canada international youth set-up.

Hull City, who were relegated from the Premier League last season, are keen to add Tomori to their ranks, as they look to tighten up their defence, in a season where they will hope to bounce straight back to the top-flight.
