Chelsea defender Michael Mancienne is a big fan of England U21 teammate James Tomkins, the West Ham centre-half.

"I thought he did really well against Azerbaijan and put in a very strong debut, to be honest," said the Blues defender, who lined up against Tomkins when Chelsea won 1-0 at the Boleyn Ground on 25 April.

"I thought he was very good. We definitely both like to bring the ball out from the back and after a performance like that I was buzzing for him."
