Chelsea midfielder, Mason Mount, admits he has a season goal scoring target.
Mount currently has five goals to his name so far this season, the most recent our winner against Aston Villa earlier this month, as well as one for England against Kosovo in November. Yet, he has his sights set on much more.
“I hadn’t had a full pre-season with Chelsea before last summer so that was my first goal – to go away with the first team, work hard, show the manager I was ready to play and get as many minutes as I could in pre-season,” he told Chelsea magazine of his start to the season. “I knew that would give me the best chance to show him that, when the season started, I could step in and play a big part.
“I always set a target of 10 goals too – double figures – no matter who it’s with. I achieved that last season and the year before, so hopefully I can do that this time as well. If you’re stepping up a level, then you’ve got to go to that level with your performances as well.

“The players around you are going to be better so you have to be better as well. Ten goals was always something I felt kept me focused and kept me looking forward, at any level.”
