Rio Ferdinand and Joe Cole have agreed that Mason Mount will play a crucial role for Chelsea under Graham Potter. The 23-year-old has enjoyed an up-turn in form since the 47-year-old replaced Thomas Tuchel and, having impressed, he's set to be a key fixture in the Blues side ahead of the Qatar World Cup.
Mount, who has entered the final two years of his contract with Chelsea, has featured eight times for the west Londoners in the Premier League this season, directly contributing towards two goals from midfield. His impressive displays have seen him become central to Potter implementing his philosophies, giving Todd Boehly more reason than ever to offer him an extension.
Speaking to BT Sport, Joe Cole insisted that Mount is still widely underrated and has been the standout performer since the former Brighton boss arrived. The former Chelsea midfielder said: "Another manager has come into Chelsea and another manager has deemed him vitally important to his team.
