What's so special about Mason Mount?

Mason Mount has yet to sign a new contract with Chelsea and as his current deal runs out next summer, he is well coveted by many clubs, including a few of Chelsea's Big Six rivals.

What's so special about Mason Mount? Why has every Chelsea manager recognised him as a key component to the team? Where might he go next? How would he fit into other teams?

Carl Anka answers all these questions and more.

Loved this. Mason Mount is clearly very tactically adept. Takes instruction well and works hard. I think he's creative too but often he's there for workrate and discipline. I do genuinely think he's doing what he's being asked to do more often than not. That's why coaches love him

[ohyeah]

Please get this guy on the Tifo podcast before it ends

I liked the point about ceilings and floors. Mount makes your team better but isn’t a game changer by himself, probably why he’s underrated by most.

Carl could explain any topic to me, he's so naturally attention catching! Love to see him back on the channel ❤

Don't know why any Chelsea fan would want him to leave. Even if you ignore his 2 consecutive POTY, but didn't you see his performances by yourself? Yeah he is not that fancy or attractive, so what. He fits in our system very well, play like he cares, has been flexible and different systems and coaches.

Mount is class and ill be devastated if he goes. I really don't understand the hate he gets from some people but i guess that's just a 'the internet doesnt like this' kind of thing.

Carl is great!! Please have him on more.

[tdogsports]

This has gotta be one of the best tifo videos I've seen. Carl made this so incredibly entertaining. hope we see more of him.

[onetimebear]

Carl always seems like a guy that understands exactly how lucky he is to be paid to talk about football. Always radiating absolute child-like joy. Love it!

[emilthejedi]

As a Chelsea fan I can't bear the thought of any other team, rival or not, having Mason Mount.

Lord Anka has returned to bless us once again with his presence!

[losangelesnefastvs]

I would love to see a video where you break down how you determine whether a player is a "floor-raiser" or a "ceiling-raiser". Sounds like an interesting concept.

[frankunodostres]

I really hope mount, reece, kante and the entire team can have a really productive full pre-season with a new manager and bounce back

[OoLennyoO]

Let it be known. This man said Harry Maguire for £85 million was a market correction. I would take what he says about players with a pinch of salt

[naropanatha]

Finally, someone who notices the defensive contribution of MM (something obvious to those who have been actually watching Chelsea games). I think his attacking skills are being understated. Last PL season he had double digit goals AND assists (and most MotM awards). In the 20/21 CL he had a G or an A in quarterfinals, semifinals and the final (do you know how rare that is?). He has been giving solutions in crucial games, in a Chelsea team that has been really struggling offensively

[CaelanDafydd]

Can we have a video about how underrated Edin Dzeko is please?

Would love to see a video on David Raya, his long balls are exceptional and saves tally is crazy, plus how he is used as a set piece taker works perfectly for how Brentford want to score goals

[FPAdacoL]

As a newcastle fan. I personally think he’ll fit brilliantly into our squad. Got good attitude like our other players and he’ll be good at doing what newcastle do best in there pressing. Plus he’ll want Champions League football which (fingers crossed) we should get.
