Chelsea scout Rob Winzar says Mason Mount has greater potential talent than club legend Frank Lampard.

Mount, on-loan at Derby County, is part of England's squad this week.

Winzar has been talent spotting for Chelsea in and around Portsmouth for 15 years.

He told The Sun: “Mason can be England's (Luka) Modric. I'm not saying he's as good as Modric now but I know he'll want to be that good and dictate games like Modric."

His goals for Derby this season have even seen him compared with Rams manager Lampard.

And Winzar added: “In someways it is ridiculous to be even comparing the two when you look at what Frank achieved.

“Mason still has a long way to go but there are some things he does naturally, whereas Frank had to work really hard to add those things to his game."
