He can play in any team in Premier league: Souness hails Chelsea midfielder Mount

Liverpool great Graeme Souness admits he's a big fan of Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount.

Souness was speaking after Chelsea's 4-1 defeat of Sheffield United.

"Because they're homegrown we're overlooking them, we're taking them for granted," said Souness.

"Mason Mount is a fabulous player, I think he'd be my first name in midfield.

"I know we talk about Ziyech, there are bigger challenges for Chelsea and Ziyech - if he can do that against the very best teams - we know Mason Mount can. We know he's right up for the cup.

"I'm trying to think about what team he wouldn't get in in the Premier League and that includes all the big guns.

"I think him and (Phil) Foden are outstanding. And I also like the one at Leicester, Maddison. It pains me to say but right now England has some fabulous talent in midfield."
