According to BBC, Leeds United manager, Marcelo Bielsa is looking to sign the defender to help his team improve in their defence.

Leeds defender Robin Koch is currently nursing a long-term knee injury and the Argentine gaffer is desperately looking for a replacement.

It is understood that Lampard is open to let Tomori leave Stamford Bridge last summer but the English-born Nigerian centre-back stayed to fight for his place.

Tomori could have a better chance of getting more game time under his belts in Leeds who have been shaky in their defence this season despite their attractive attacking style of play.

The Elland Road outfit have the second-worst defence in the Premier League after West Brom having conceded 33 goals so far.

The newly-promoted side suffered heavy defeats to Crystal Palace, Leicester and Manchester United.
