Jaap Stam disagrees with Rio Ferdinand on Fikayo Tomori and England debate

Jaap Stam believes AC Milan defender Fikayo Tomori should be handed the chance to play for England on a regular basis - despite starting once under Gareth Southgate since his debut in 2019.

Stam has shared a different opinion to his former Manchester United teammate Rio Ferdinand, who admitted his performance against Inter Milan last week showed why he doesn't start for the Three Lions. Tomori made his first and only England start in the 0-0 draw against Italy last June.

Tomori is below the likes of Harry Maguire, John Stones, Eric Dier and Marc Guehi in the pecking order at the Three Lions and he didn't boost his chances of moving up with his display in the Champions League semi-final first-leg. That is according to Ferdinand after AC were beaten 2-0 by their city rivals last Wednesday.
