Frank Lampard has named his most important player in Chelsea by a huge distance.
The Blues boss choice of Mason Mount comes as a huge surprise considering that Chelsea’s squad has many influential players like N’Golo Kante and more.
Mount has had a huge leap in his career. He has come a long way since his days on loan at Vitesse Arnhem and Derby County.
His spell with Derby, where he played under Lampard, might have sparked a remarkable relationship.
Mount broke into the Chelsea first-team with a flurry of goals, but that has dried up from his game. It is not down to the lack of involvement though.
Lampard has been quick to point out the same.
According to Goal.com, he said: “I rely on Mason a lot. I did at Derby, I do at Chelsea.
“He brings so much to the team in his work ethic and the way he can start the press in midfield and obviously his quality on the ball which is only going to get better and it’s already at a high level.

“When I say Mason, I mean Billy [Gilmour] and Reece [James] in the same breath because they show a similar attitude.”
