Mount sets Chelsea goal target as he seeks to avoid becoming a 'luxury'

The 20-year-old playmaker is aware of his responsibilities in a No.10 role and hopes to prove that he can be a useful asset for the Blues and England

Mason Mount is aware that he cannot be a “luxury” for Chelsea, with the 20-year-old setting the target of breaking into double figures for goals scored in 2019-20.

A Stamford Bridge academy graduate achieved that feat last season when taking in a loan spell at Derby, with the target found 11 times across all competitions.

Mount also registered 14 efforts during a stint at Dutch side Vitesse in 2017-18, with his impressive development allowing him to become a senior star for Chelsea and England.
