Lampard has 'felt' Mount's qualities over the past 2 seasons. Mount has a lot of energy and speed and does great work off the ball.
He also has quality on the ball and his 'natural fitness' has helped Lampard navigate through his players' injuries.
"I have felt Mason’s qualities since he came and had a year with me at Derby," Frank Lampard told Chelseafc.com.
"Last season I relied on him a lot. When I came to the club at the start of last season I did a lot of work on how we could be good off the ball at the higher end of the pitch, and to be good off the ball in high and medium areas of the pitch you need triggers, you need people who are prepared to release a lot of energy and speed high up the pitch to win the ball back. "You also need quality on the ball and Mason has that. So in terms of relying on him last year, that is just the way the season panned out.
Lampard continued: "At the start of the season now, when we have had a start with multiple quarantines through the group, new signings coming in with five days training, players that are injured, I have relied on Mason, on some of his qualities and his natural fitness in the early games.
"He was the main factor in us getting back in the game at West Brom with his goal and his input. I rely on him a lot.
"I rely on lots of players within the group and with the size of the squad, we need players like Mason. We are fortunate to have players like Mason in the group who can offer so much."
Mount made over 50 appearances for the Blues last season and has started and finished all 3 Premier League games so far this campaign.
When the likes of Christian Pulisic and Hakim Ziyech are fit to start, there's a chance that we could see Mount move to the bench. His energy and talent is undeniable and while he may take a back seat this season, we're sure that Mount will be a big talent for the Blues down the line.
