Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount has had a fantastic couple of seasons at the club becoming a very important player for both Frank Lampard initially, and now for Thomas Tuchel as well.
He will be one of the first names that the boss writes on his team sheet I have no doubt about that, and his development has surged.

It is the same at England, he has become a mainstay regular under Gareth Southgate and an important player for them there as well.
But Mount is ‘not content’ he admits in an interview with Sky Sports today.
And nope, not because he is unhappy at Chelsea, if you remember those silly rumours from a few weeks back, but because he wants to be scoring more goals at Chelsea right now than he is.
He has started scoring more in the recent last few matches, but Mount says he wants to score ‘more and more’ goals.
“I am not content, I want to score more and more. It is a big part of my game and it means a lot to me.
“My first year or two I played in a bit of a deeper role as an eight. Now I am playing higher up as a 10-slash-winger so that gives me more opportunities to make it into the box. They want me in the box and being a threat going forward so that is a big focus of mine.
“I have seen that improvement in the last few games in terms of the chances I am getting now just from trying to get into the box,” he says.
“Having more touches in the opposition box shows it is working.”
