Who is the Best Young Player In The Premier League?
A valid question that would be. When asked, Tim Cahill as labeled Chelsea star Mason Mount has the best young player in the Premier League.
The Everton legend also revealed he is a big fan of Frank Lampard. Chelsea boss Frank Lampard has utilized a number of players from the youth rank this season in the Premier League and Mason Mount has been one of the success stories. The west London outfit has turned to their academy for players this season for their inability to sign players before the ban was lifted by CAS.
It has seen the likes of Mount, Tammy Abraham, and Reece James becomes key players while Callum Hudson-Odoi, Billy Gilmour and Fikayo Tomori have also impressed.
And though it has been far from perfect as the Blues really struggled for form before the season was suspended, but the signs are promising for Lampard’s young team.
And ex-Australia star Cahill believes the England international is a star in the making.
“I like the look of Mason Mount,” Cahill told Sky Sports when asked to name the best young player in the league.
“I think he’s a top goalscorer and he’s got a massive career ahead of him.
“One of the reasons why I like him a lot is because of his coach (Frank Lampard) and the way that he’s trying to mold a player similar to himself.
“He can lead him and show him the right ways
You can see that starting to come to fruition with his football this season. I’m a big fan.”
Mount has been a key part of Chelsea’s team this season, playing in all 29 matches in the Premier League.
He has scored six times and assisted a further five while also making his bow for the England international set-up
