As captain of Vitesse Arnhem in Holland for much of the last decade, the Georgian central defender Guram Kashia saw so many Chelsea loanees pass through the club that he would not be able to remember them all.
Kashia will always recall one, though. 'Man, this boy is brilliant,' he said of Mason Mount. 'I have seen some very good Chelsea talents over the years but Mason is the best'.
Mount was 18 when he followed the path trodden by so many Chelsea boys and joined Vitesse on a season's loan in the summer of 2017.
