Mason Mount says Chelsea are contenders in all competitions this season ahead of Tuesday's clash with Ajax in the Champions League.

The Blues, who are fourth in the Premier League, are top of Group G after beating Ajax in Amsterdam last month.

"We've had to deal with competition throughout our whole time being in the academy," Mount said on Monday. "You come into a team and there are players from all different countries so you have to work to show how good you are.

"There's always been that competition within Chelsea, so we're all ready for that, and there's massive competition within the team now to fight for your place.

"We want to win trophies and we want to be top of the league. We're so tight as a team, the bond is so good and we've got that focus and togetherness that we need to win trophies. That's our next goal, to win a major trophy.

"We just need to keep getting better and better, which is what we've shown over the last couple of weeks.

"If we carry on this level of performance, we can definitely be a top contender in any competition."
