England Gareth Southgate believes Mason Mount is only now getting the credit he deserves because Thomas Tuchel now manages him at Chelsea and not Frank Lampard.
Southgate is a huge admirer of the 22-year-old and named him in his starting XI for the seventh straight game for Sunday’s World Cup qualifier against Albania, with the midfielder scoring England’s second goal in a 2-0 win.
However, his and Lampard’s loyalty to the player has been questioned in some quarters, something Southgate believes has only changed following the switch of manager at Stamford Bridge.
