Former Chelsea player Jason Cundy has claimed that he would "100 percent" take Mason Mount in his team over Brazil star Neymar Jr. It comes as both players are out on international duty with their respective nations, both hoping to achieve the ultimate goal of the winning the World Cup this winter.
Mount has been one of the understated parts of Gareth Southgate's success as England boss, often having more of an impact off the ball than on it, meaning he rarely catches the headlines. It's something that Brighton midfielder Adam Lallana agrees with in an interview with the Times.
"Mason Mount is a manager’s dream," He claimed. "The glamorous selection by England would have been to play Phil Foden as a No 10 alongside Bukayo Saka and Sterling, but picking Mount was another of the calls Gareth Southgate got exactly right. And it is no surprise to me having worked with Graham Potter at Brighton that Mount has started every Premier League and Champions League game barring one since he took over at Chelsea in September."
