Chelsea rewarded him with a four-year contract in 2017, running until 2021, before loaning him out to Dutch club Vitesse – the stomping ground for so many Blues academy products.

Mount starred on loan at Vitesse
The teenager made 39 appearances in all competitions for Vitesse, scoring 14 goals and notching up 10 assists, while appearing in the Eredivisie Team of the Week on several occasions and winning the club’s player of the season award.
Upon his return to Chelsea, Mount was immediately loaned out to Derby, who had recently appointed Blues legend Lampard as their new manager.
The 19-year-old scored on his debut as the Rams beat Reading 2-1 and most recently netted in their dramatic play-off semi-final win over Leeds.

Will Mount make his England debut this month?
Mount caught the eye during his side’s dramatic penalty-shootout victory over Manchester United at Old Trafford in the Carabao Cup and England boss Gareth Southgate has also hailed him.
“Mount stepped up and scored a penalty at Old Trafford, he took it like he had been there all his life,” Southgate said after calling up Mount to his squad in October.
“Very often we hold youngsters back a bit too much and I’m always trying to find that balance.”
