Chelsea captaincy 'gives me confidence' as a leader says Mount after triumphant Blues campaign

Having worn the armband twice this term at Stamford Bridge, the England winger hopes he can continue to hone his leadership skills

Mason Mount feels his occasional captaincy at Chelsea will only further help him develop as a leader, after capping off a superb season with a Champions League victory.

The 22-year-old, the Blues' Player of the Year, has blossomed under Frank Lampard and Thomas Tuchel this term, with the reward of the armband for the FA Cup clash with Luton in January.

Linking up with England ahead of Euro 2020, Mount has acknowledged the honour only inspires him further and that he is delighted to have the opportunity to continue building his leadership skills.
