Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount admits he'd like the club captaincy.

With Jorginho, N'Golo Kante and Marcos Alonso also vying for the armband but only having one year left on their current deals - Mount may be next in Thomas Tuchel's leadership thoughts.

“Yes, I am still young and I am still learning but whenever the opportunity comes to step up I want to take it," Mount told reporters after his side's 1-1 draw with Charlotte FC in the Bank of America Stadium.

“Obviously, the gaffer trusted me with captaining the side in the second half and I take that responsibility. Whether we win, whether we lose I always want to be the won to be able to take it.

“To take it on the chin if we win and obviously if we lose as well.

“I'm naturally not the most vocal," he added. “I've never really been that. When I was captain of the Under-18 FA Youth Cup side I was always someone who tried to lead by example on the pitch.

“But you have to bring that as well and that's something I am constantly trying to learn from the likes of Azpi and Jorgi who have been captains of this club. Just trying to learn from them and trying to add that to my game.

“Even if you are not someone who leads with the ball and leads on the pitch you have to have that other side as well."
