West Ham defender Tomkins wins England U21 call

West Ham United defender James Tomkins has won a late call-up to England's U21 European Championship squad.

Tomkins has been called up as a replacement for Micah Richards.

The 22-year-old got the nod after Manchester City defender Richards withdrew last week because of a hamstring injury.

Tomkins will join up with the squad in time for Sunday's friendly against Norway in Southampton.
