Mason Mount rivals N'Golo Kante as fittest player at Chelsea

According to The Athletic, Mount is arguably the fittest player at the club - contending with Kante for that honour. The Blues held a series of tests, of which the England international came out on top along with his French team-mate. A source told The Athletic: “One of the reasons Lampard likes Mount is because he trains every day as if it is his last. He has the ambition to be one of the best. "When the club made all the signings during the window, he reacted positively and made it obvious he was going to fight for his place.” That has become a huge question mark over this season, with the signings of Kai Havertz and Hakim Ziyech. The two were bought for big money and are expected to be key players under Lampard this term. And that has left Mount's position in the team come under scrutiny - with him being dropped for the Crystal Palace match prior to the international break. But Lampard has a ton of faith in the Portsmouth-born star, who insisted he has great attitude and quality. story here
