Mason Mount reveals Declan Rice promise as Chelsea star set for World Cup squad amid transfer

Mason Mount has already made plans for if England win the World Cup. The Englishman is expected to be in Gareth Southgate's 26-man squad for the 2022 tournament in Qatar and may well end up with Raheem Sterling as the only Three Lions players from Chelsea.

Reece James and Ben Chilwell are both out due to injuries sustained in the past month whilst Ruben Loftus-Cheek is expected to miss out despite his surge of form this season under Graham Potter and Thomas Tuchel. Mount, who has struggled for form this season and only has two league goals, is still regarded as vitally important by Southgate.

He will also be in an inspiring position of being at the tournament alongside childhood friend Declan Rice. The pair were both youth players at Cobham before Rice was let go aged 14. The West Ham captain has since gone on to be one of the best defensive midfielders in the league and is a certainty for Southgate's Qatar plans.
