Mason Mount has paid tribute to "top, top guy" Antonio Rudiger following the defender's final match for Chelsea. The German defender has confirmed he will leave the club in the summer transfer window following the expiry of his contract, meaning the win against Watford on Sunday will be his last game for the Blues.
Rudiger started against the Hornets, but was brought off on 65 minutes to a standing ovation from the Chelsea supporters at Stamford Bridge. The Germany international is now expected to complete his free transfer to Real Madrid in the coming weeks.
The 29-year-old centre-back has played 133 Premier League games for Chelsea since arriving at the club back in the summer of 2017 from AS Roma. In that time, it's been a mixed bag for Rudiger, but the defender ended his almost five-year spell with the club as one of the strongest performers of the season.
