Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount has named his best position, amidst debates on where he should be playing for Chelsea and England.
With a World Cup wight around the corner, it will be a great time from an England standpoint for Mount to hit some top form again, as he has been struggling a bit for Chelsea this season, as have all the players.
Sources: 5 goalkeepers on Chelsea’s shortlist to potentially replace Edouard Mendy!
But for me, I’ve never believed Mount is playing in his best position and therefore we are not getting the very best out of him at Chelsea. And he has confirmed that he has not been playing in his best position for Chelsea this week, although not in those words.
Mount has told the 5th Stand App that his best position is an 8. And for Chelsea this season he has largely either been playing as a 10 or as a winger, and none of these positions suit him as much as the 8 does.
Mason Mount:
"For me, in this day and age certainly, being able to play different positions is so key. You see formations change even during games and you can play two or three different roles in a game."

Mason Mount:
"It's massive to play in these different roles and it's what the manager demands of you, especially at Premier League level and obviously at international level with the World Cup coming up."
