Derby whiz Mason Mount staying grounded over England talk

Derby County whiz Mason Mount is staying grounded over talk of an England call up.

Mount is on-loan at Derby this season from Chelsea.

Mount told The Sun: “It gives you more confidence that he's recognising what I have been doing on the pitch, that's what I want to be doing – talking with my feet, trying to do things on the pitch that will make people notice.

“I'm young, I play with no fear, just try and do the best I can. That's all I can do for the team and for the club.

“My mum and dad, how they've brought me up, you've always got to be confident about how good you are.

“But you don't need to shout and scream about it though. That's not what I do.

“They've always told me to let my feet talk, and that's what I have done. That's the only pressure I put on myself – to perform."
