Thomas Tuchel claims Mason Mount has the potential to become a “top, top player” and will push him to find his “limits” at Chelsea.
There was speculation that Mount would find action hard to come by on Tuchel’s arrival after he was left out of the team in his opening game in charge against Wolves.

But the England international – who was a favourite under Frank Lampard – returned to the starting lineup for the 2-0 win over Burnley and was one of the standout performers.
And Tuchel claims Mount’s attitude bodes well for what he believes will be a very bright future.
“He cares a lot about Chelsea, he cares a lot about his teammates, he is leaving his heart on the pitch,” Tuchel said.
“If you train with Mason, he gives 100% every minute and this is the best level to grow. It’s the best situation to start and the best situation to become a top, top player.
“He has everything needed to reach higher and higher levels. I don’t know where his limits are but right now we will push him and support him.
“What makes me very happy is he is a nice guy, an open guy. He has a positive aura and energy in the dressing room and it’s a real pleasure to work with the whole team and Mason.”
