Damning Mason Mount stat debunks bizarre social media myth to fulfil Thomas Tuchel's NBA promise

Mason Mount has struggled to reach the same heights he reached last season, but his overriding impact at Chelsea has been awe-inspiring. Since breaking through under Frank Lampard, the 23-year-old has been central to much of the Blues' success, evolving into the side's primary catalyst.

The Cobham graduate has etched himself into Chelsea's starting eleven, regardless of the boss, averaging 72.7 minutes a game across 148 appearances. Mount frequently steps up in the big games for the west London side, directly contributing towards goals in crucial Champions League knockout round ties and clashes against Premier League title rivals.
