Chelsea legend Gianfranco Zola has placed Mason Mount in the same class as Barcelona superkid Pedri.

Zola also singled out Spain starlet Pedri for a bright future while speaking to Marca.

The Spanish sports newspaper asked the retired 35-cap Italy hero which player has "surprised" him most in the last two years.

Zola, 56, replied: "There are players who have come on very strong.

"I'm impressed with Chelsea's Mason Mount and how he's grown, and I also love Phil Foden.

"And of the Spaniards, Pedri is one of them, apart from many others."
