Having mental strength, Mason Mount is called the best player at Chelsea

Ashley Cole believes that Mason Mount already has the capital to become one of the best Chelsea players under Frank Lampard. Although still young, Mount is able to shoulder the burden as a key player.

Mount is one of Lampard's secret weapons this season. The two worked together in Derby County last season and continue to be part of the Chelsea team this season.

So far, Mount has been named the starting lineup for Chelsea's opening four matches in the 2019/20 Premier League. He proved his quality by scoring two goals against Leicester and Norwich City.

Ashley Cole thinks Mount's evidence at the start of the season is enough to confirm his quality.

Getting to Know the Mountain

Cole himself knows Mount quite well personally. He was also part of the Derby County team last season. Thanks to that, Cole understands Mount's potential as a young player.

"Obviously, I had the honor of playing with [Mount] in Derby last season, and for me he is our first player and best player," Cole told Metro.

"It's clear he is getting older and growing since I saw him with Chelsea U-9, now everything is in his hands."


The best mental player


In addition, Cole helps Mount to maximize his abilities under Lampard. Mount has the opportunity to learn directly from experts. What's important is maintaining the mentality of the Mountain in these difficult times.

"This is a player who always comes at the beginning of training sessions, he gives 100% in training sessions. For me, that's what is needed to be a top player, it is a great mentality, he has it," continued Cole.

"Now it all depends on him, working hard and developing under Frank, and of course, he will have the opportunity to play," he concluded.
