The west London side sent 38 players out on loan last season to varying degrees of success, and Mount as one of them. The teenager has excelled with Dutch side Vitesse as they secured a Europa League play-off spot and England manager Gareth Southgate mentioned him while listing the young players who are on his radar during his press conference on Thursday.
The 2014-15 season saw him make seven appearances for the U18 before establishing himself as a regular across the youth teams the next year, making 23 appearances for the U18. He scored in the FA Youth Cup final first-leg tie against Man City as Chelsea went on to defend their title in the 2015/16 campaign, as well as assisting twice during a 3-0 UEFA Youth League semi-final win against Anderlecht as the Blues won the second successive European title.
