Chelsea defender Fikayo Tomori admits it is special sharing his debut Premier League season with Mason Mount and Reece James.

The trio, along with fellow academy graduates Tammy Abraham and Callum Hudson-Odoi, have all featured heavily for Frank Lampard's side this season.

Speaking after he penned a new five-year deal, Tomori said: "For myself, Mason [Mount] and Reece [James], this is our first season in the Premier League so for us to experience this together is really special.

"It's a big step up because there's a lot more scrutiny and a lot more praise so we're working things out as we go along. We talk to each other about different games and different opponents.

"Tammy [Abraham] and Callum [Hudson-Odoi] have played in the Premier League before so they have that experience where they've been there but they're still learning in the same kind of way. We're just supporting each other a lot, we help each other and you can see that we have a great friendship off the pitch as well."
