Chelsea boss Frank Lampard is delighted for Fikayo Tomori over his England call.

The defender has been a revelation for the Blues this season.

Lampard said, "I'm absolutely delighted for (Fikayo) Tomori because I think Mason [Mount] and Tammy (Abraham) are taking a lot of the headlines this season and rightly so, but Tomori from seeing him at Derby last year, quite quiet, loads of great talent in him but slightly raw in a way.

"He had a loan at Hull which went so-so before and then to see him play the full season last year when I relied on him hugely and then to come here and I think some people would have easily doubted whether he could step up to the Premier League because he's young.

"But what he's done is shown that he's got great qualities so again another natural progression and I'm really pleased for him. He deserves it because he's been a dream to work with, day in and day out for the last 15 months or so."
