It’s Mason Mount’s birthday today. The star boy is somehow turning just 23, after a couple of seasons where he has rocketed from top prospect to an established star of European football.
Given the nice occasion (and given that it’s a pretty slow news Monday), we decided to republish a list of very flattering quotes from various players and managers about our very own legend in the making.
There are some truly impressive names in there, and it’s no longer just Chelsea fans who are aware of his brilliance.
You can see the list of quotes in the Tweets embedded here:
Terry: “He is a future England & Chelsea captain.”
Foden: “He’s a really top player, and so difficult to play against.”
Modrić: "He is a very, very talented player. There's a great future ahead of him.”
Lampard: “I never understood his critics, his performances are top draw.” pic.twitter.com/k7begD8jQs

Luka Modric, Jose Mourinho, Kylian Mbappe… that’s a nice spread.
We wonder who will be in next year’s roundup, after another year of Mount tearing through Europe’s top teams in the Champions League knockouts?
With a Champions League trophy already secured by 23, the sky is the limit for Mason now.
