Graham Smyth claims Leeds United not interested in Fikayo Tomori

Graham Smyth of the Yorkshire Evening Post has claimed that Leeds United are not looking to sign Chelsea defender Fikayo Tomori in the January transfer window.

Leeds have been linked with a move for Tomori this month, with BBC Sport even claiming that Elland Road could be the next destination for the 23-year-old defender.

However, Smyth has now claimed that he has been told ‘no’ regarding Leeds’ interest in the highly-rated defender.

I'm told no. I've seen a few tweets suggesting it was reported by the BBC but as far as I'm aware it was the BBC's gossip round-up, so came from elsewhere…

Tomori was linked with a move to Everton on loan during the summer transfer window, but Frank Lampard blocked the move.
