'I've been watching your assists!': Mason Mount thanks 'magician' Cesc Fabregas for his praise after Spaniard lauded his 'fantastic' role in Chelsea's opening goal against Rennes

Former Chelsea midfielder Cesc Fabregas has heaped praise on Mason Mount after his impressive performance against Rennes on Tuesday night.

Mount was sublime in the Blues' Champions League win at Roazhon Park in France, laying on an impressive assist for Callum Hudson-Odoi's opening goal.

The youngster has played every minute in all but three league matches this season and has scored one goal and provided four assists, despite Chelsea's huge outlay on Hakim Ziyech, Timo Werner and Kai Havertz this summer.
