Chelsea forward Mason Mount paid the bill for a bunch of young superstars from the Chelsea academy at a café earlier this week without the players even knowing of this gesture.
Mount has shown his class on the pitch over the last few weeks as has scored two goals in his last two games for Chelsea. But the highly-rated young attacker also has a soft corner for the young players at the club despite being only 20 years of age.
But his feet still remain firmly on the ground at such a tender age not allowing himself to get carried away by the flashy life of a normal footballer. Mount recently walked into a café and paid for the Chelsea academy players’ bill without their knowledge because he was aware of what it was like for a young player progressing through the club ranks not so long ago.
The young English star has been one of Chelsea’s best players so far under Frank Lampard and the Chelsea boss has waxed lyrical on Mount claiming that he is a pleasure to work with and his hunger for the game and ability to learn never ends, “He can go absolutely to the top, I don’t want to heap expectation on him, but I will tell him that every day because I feel it, and when someone’s humble and hard-working like him, it doesn’t matter. You can tell them because it will never stop his drive or his hunger. He’s not a boy that wants the razzmatazz of it all, he just wants to be a top player for Chelsea and then England and me believe he can be. He’s driven and not going to get carried away with himself. It’s the way his family has brought him up. A pleasure to work with.”
