Mason Mount has been flaunting his muscular frame as Chelsea ramp up their preparations for the new season at a training base in Los Angeles.
The attacking midfielder, 23, was one of Thomas Tuchel's key players last campaign and made a remarkable 53 appearances across all competitions. During that time, he scored 13 goals and registered 16 assists as the Blues won the Club World Cup, but he is clearly targeting more improvement in the season to come.
While Mount had a slight figure at the time of his Chelsea debut in August 2019, he has equipped himself to go toe-to-toe with the elite Premier League enforcers with his subsequent work in the gym. The England international hopes his extra mass will help him as he gets stuck into challenges - but he is keen not to lose any of his sharpness on the ball in the process.
