Mount is yet to make his senior Chelsea debut

In 2005, six-year-old Mount joined the Blues. He made his under-18 debut in the 2013/14 season and worked his way into England’s youth set-up the following campaign.During the 2016/17 season, the youngster established himself as a regular in Chelsea’s under-18s and under-21s, netting ten goals in 39 appearances. 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.While many bright Chelsea careers fade away in the Netherlands, Mount’s loan spell was incredibly fruitful.5
