England winger Raheem Sterling has revealed that Mason Mount shocked his teammates in training when he first emerged as a senior player.

The duo are set to play a crucial role for the Three Lions at the World Cup, with both key starters for manager Gareth Southgate.

Recently, Sterling gave an interview that mentioned how impressed he was by Mount when he first trained with the England senior squad.

He stated, "Best training performance I've seen to this day. Every time we speak with him after the game or something, we say to him it was the best training performance.

"He joined up with the seniors, he came up from the Under-21s and just came, from Derby at the time, and I'm not exaggerating, left foot, right foot, dribbling, chopping. It was the best training performance. It was the best training performance I've seen to this day. I haven't seen anything that's topped that.

"He's just come into our training session, I'm here, it was the first camp after we came back from the Russia World Cup and he's come up with something incredible. It was top, top."
