Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount: I'll always be Portsmouth fan

Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount has again admitted he still wants to play for Portsmouth.

England play Kosovo at St Mary's in a Euro 2020 qualifier this week.

"Yes, I expect some stick. I was born in Portsmouth so I am a Pompey boy and a Pompey fan," Mount said.

"But I have this badge on at the moment so that doesn't come into play too much. I am looking forward to playing at Southampton and it is a massive game for us.

"I trained with Portsmouth, Southampton and Chelsea but being a Pompey boy, I always wanted to play for Pompey.

"When Chelsea came in that was my main goal to go and play for them. Chelsea was a massive team. But I always support Pompey and look at their results."
