Mason Mount's rise through Chelsea's ranks

Mason Mount is one of the biggest success stories of Chelsea's academy system. Mount signed his first Chelsea contract aged nine and has developed into a first-team star. The midfielder led Chelsea to the FA Youth Cup, before showing his resilience in loan spells at Vitesse Arnheim and Derby. He returned to Stamford Bridge at the start of 2019-20 to be reunited with his ex-Derby boss Frank Lampard. Since then, Mount's performances have seen him become a regular for club and country. The England international is part of a generation of stylish young talent spearheading the club's future.
