Mason Mount admits he was such a big fan of Luka Modric growing up that he 'knows his moves' ahead of England's clash with Croatia... and was 'overwhelmed' when the Real Madrid star asked for his shirt after Champions League semi-final

Mason Mount believes his admiration of Luka Modric means he 'knows his moves' as his England side prepare to face Croatia in the Euro 2020 opener.

The Chelsea star says he looked up to Modric as a youngster when he was strutting his stuff with Tottenham, and watched his style of play so closely that he now has a good idea of 'what he's going to do' in a game.

The pair came up against each other in the Champions League semi-final as his Blues outfit defeated Real Madrid, with Mount admitting it 'helps' to play against someone who you are a fan of.
