Mason Tony Mount (born 10 January 1999) is an English professional footballer who plays as a midfielder for Derby County of the Championship, on loan from Premier League club Chelsea.

Club career

Chelsea

Mount was born in Portsmouth, Hampshire.[4] He was playing under-6 football in local leagues as a four-year-old and spent one day a week training in the academies of Portsmouth, Southampton and Chelsea.[5] Mount joined Chelsea at the age of six, in 2005. He made his under-18 debut as an under-15 during the 2013–14 season and added several more appearances in the following season. Mount went on to play for both under-18 and under-21 teams during the 2016–17 season, in which he scored 10 goals in 30 appearances. He signed a new four-year contract with Chelsea in July 2017.[6]

Loan to Vitesse

Mount joined Dutch Eredivisie club Vitesse on 24 July 2017 on a season-long loan.[6] He made his first-team debut on 26 August, as a 77th-minute substitute during Vitesse's 2–1 home defeat against AZ.[7][8] The following month, he was given his first start in Vitesse's KNVB Cup first-round defeat away to fifth-tier team Swift, playing the full 90 minutes of the 0–0 draw, which Swift won in a penalty shoot-out.[7][9] He scored his first goal for Vitesse on 1 October in the 76th minute of a 1–1 home draw with Utrecht.[7][10] Mount went onto appear in the Eredivisie Team of the Week on several occasions and win the Vitesse Player of the Year award.[11]

During Vitesse's Eredivisie European play-off semi-final first leg against ADO Den Haag on 9 May 2018, Mount scored his first hat-trick, as Vitesse won 5–2 away.[7] In the second leg, Mount scored in a 2–1 win as Vitesse won 7–3 on aggregate.[7] In the first leg of the final against Utrecht, Mount opened the scoring but was booked and therefore suspended for the second leg.[7] Mount made 39 appearances in all competitions for Vitesse, scoring 14 times, before returning to Chelsea.

Loan to Derby County

Mount joined Championship club Derby County on 17 July 2018 on a season-long loan.[12] He scored a 60th-minute equaliser on his debut for Derby on 3 August 2018, during a 2–1 away victory over Reading.[13]

International career

Mount has represented England at under-16, under-17, under-18 and under-19 levels.[14] Mount represented the under-17s at the 2016 UEFA European Under-17 Championship.[15]

Mount was included in the under-19 team for the 2017 UEFA European Under-19 Championship.[16] He provided the assist for Lukas Nmecha to score the winning goal against Portugal in the final.[17] He was subsequently named Golden Player of the tournament.[18]

Following his impressive season with Vitesse, Mount was invited by manager Gareth Southgate to train with the senior team for a week ahead of the 2018 FIFA World Cup.[19] He was called up to the senior team for the UEFA Nations League matches against Croatia and Spain in October 2018.[20]
