​Chelsea youngster Tomori reveals constant Lampard help

Chelsea youngster Fikayo Tomori admits that he is getting a lot of help from Frank Lampard as he settles with the first team.

The young defender has been a revelation since getting a chance at the start of the campaign.

The 21-year-old is already among the first choice center backs for Lampard.

He even earned a call up to the England senior side for the past international break.

"Coming into the season, I wanted to stamp my place in the team and the manager gave me an opportunity," Tomori said at a press conference.

"He's carried on giving me opportunities. Even if I make mistakes or I'm not quite in the right position, he helps me out and he's developed me a lot. He talks to me in training, so do the other players, and that helps me.

"This season has been good for me so far. It's gone better than I probably expected it would go but I'm working hard day-in, day-out trying to improve and help the team as much as I can. Getting the senior international call-up last month was great and now I just want to keep on going."
