Fikayo Tomori admits his England call-up was “a dream” after a whirlwind 12 months for the Chelsea defender.

The 21-year-old, who was born in Canada and represented them at under-20 level, spent last season on loan at Sky Bet Championship side Derby but has established himself in Frank Lampard’s team this term.

That has earned him a call-up to Gareth Southgate’s England squad for the Euro 2020 qualification double-header against the Czech Republic and Bulgaria.

“I haven’t got the books, but I can do it online so I can see whatever I need to see on there,” Tomori added.

“Yeah, I’ve had a little look. Obviously it’s the first few days, so I’ve tried not to look at that too much, try to be focused on the football.

“But when I do have free time, I can look at it.

“It’s not just the books. I like to kind of spend time with the boys, which is important as well and have a bit of fun.

“But at night time before I’m going to bed or whatever, I might have a look over it, yeah.”
