Mason Mount

Mount joined Derby on a season-long loan deal from Chelsea this season and has shown the talent that he possesses.

The attacking-midfielder has contributed with six goals and three assists in all competitions whilst getting some vital first-team football.

At just 19-years-old, this is his second campaign of full senior football after an outstanding year at Vitesse Arnhem in 2017/18.

Saints will have to be wary of Mount’s driving runs from central areas and his ability to thread clever passes when attacking the box.
