Lionel Messi has hailed Mason Mount's potential and predicts big things for the Chelsea star. Mount is enjoying an impressive breakthrough season at Stamford Bridge which has also seen him capped at international level for England.
Despite plenty of competition for places in the Blues' midfield, Mount has held his own, largely keeping his shirt ahead of the likes of Ross Barkley.
He was also on course to be involved in England's European Championships campaign this summer before the tournament was moved after playing his way into Gareth Southgate's plans.
Now to top off a remarkable year for the 21-year-old, Mount has now drawn the plaudits of six-time Ballon d'Or winner Messi.
