Zola explains why Mount is 'a complete player' as Chelsea legend lauds Havertz position switch

The Blues icon has been impressed by an England international and was pleased to see a German star net a Champions League match winner

Mason Mount has been showered with praise across the 2020-21 campaign, with Chelsea legend Gianfranco Zola adding his voice to those saluting the efforts of a "complete player".

Questions were asked of whether a product of the Stamford Bridge academy system has what it takes to nail down a regular role in a star-studded squad, but Frank Lampard and Thomas Tuchel have been convinced of his worth.

The 22-year-old is now an England international and Champions League winner, with a personal bar raised again in 2020-21 as he contributed nine goals and eight assists to the Blues' cause.
