Mason Mount insists he is not surprised by Tammy Abraham's impact on the Chelsea first team this season and has backed him to continue leading the line for Frank Lampard's side after their attempts to sign a striker in January were unsuccessful.
Lampard made no secret of the fact that he wished to add more firepower to his squad during the recent window, with the Blues making approaches for Paris Saint-Germain star Edinson Cavani and Napoli's Dries Mertens.
Abraham has netted 15 goals in his first full season of senior football in west London following a series of loan spells, and has become so important for Lampard that he played through the pain barrier following an ankle injury in Saturday's 2-2 draw with Leicester City.
