Caballero: Why Mount the pick of Chelsea kids for me

Chelsea goalkeeper Willy Caballero admits he's a big fan of teammate Mason Mount.

The Argentine will turn 40 next year and remains the veteran of the Chelsea dressing room. Old enough, by his own admission, to be the father of some of the youngest players.

"I've been lucky to train with Messi, Sergio Aguero and a lot of good players, including at Chelsea with Eden Hazard last season and with Willian now," he told chelseafc.com. "With the kids we have in the team, we have a lot of talent now and we have a great future.

"The most important thing is they are very settled in the mind, which is what Frank wants. I've not listened to the boys talking about money and that's fantastic - they are speaking about football and they want to win. It's a great atmosphere that we live in the dressing room.

"As an experienced player, sometimes you have to help the kids in the way they are training, or what they have to change. You can help them to improve because you have lived a lot of seasons but I feel sometimes that I am helping them but they don't need too much.

"All of them are playing well but I like to watch Mason Mount. He's doing good things and he's good at listening so he can be a great talent for Chelsea and England."
