Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount has been seriously impressive during pre-season and he put in another excellent performance against Reading yesterday.
The 20-year-old scored twice in the 4-3 win at the Madejski Stadium, bagging two in the space of a few minutes near the hour mark.
Supporters on Twitter are backing Mount to excel in the Premier League this season:

Although there will be bigger tests to come for the youngster, Mount has certainly shown he belongs in the first team during the past few weeks.
Along with Ross Barkley and Mateo Kovacic, there have been a number of impressive performers in the middle of the park during pre-season.
If manager Frank Lampard opts for two holding midfielders and a number 10, he will have a big decision to make between Mount and Barkley for who starts the season in the more advanced role.
The Blues boss won’t be complaining about the fierce competition for places and will be delighted to have a difficult decision to make ahead of the first game of the Premier League season.
