West Ham midfielder Tomas Soucek is proud to have been likened to Marouane Fellaini.

Tottenham boss Jose Mourinho made the comparison earlier this week.

Speaking of the links between himself and the former Everton and Manchester United midfielder, Soucek admitted: “I take these words very positively.

“I know what a player he was and still is and his career is nice.

I think he took his name in my similar ability especially when I fight in the air."
