Foot Mercato, who have impressive links with Premier League side Everton, report that the Merseyside club have been forced to abandon their pursuit of French central defender Kurt Zouma as Chelsea intend to include him in their first team campaign this season.
However, they are negotiating with the Blues for another loan deal: 21-year-old Fikayo Tomori, who impressed during a spell at Derby County last season.
Time is ticking.
