Chelsea fans will love the one word Mason Mount used to describe Jody Morris

One of Chelsea's big hopes for this season is Mason Mount and he had a great word to describe new assistant head coach Jody Morris.

Morris was Mount's U18s head coach when the midfielder was the skipper of the youth side, guiding them to glory, including the FA Youth Cup.

When Mount made the switch on loan to Derby County, he followed Frank Lampard who had become the new head coach, while Morris had become his assistant at Pride Park as well.

The 20-year-old has certainly learned a lot from Morris during his young career at Chelsea and then with his time with the Rams, his career in senior football is developing.

Morris, himself a former Chelsea midfielder, will play a big part of the Blues's success this season, and Mount insists that he is a real 'winner' after being asked which one word he would use to describe Morris.

"It's a very good question. I think definitely a winner, he always wants to win. So I think that is a massive part of him and as a coach. So I would say that's my one word," Mount said on Chelsea's Instagram page while answering fans' questions.

As part of the the Q+A, Mount was also asked which former Chelsea player that he would most like to play with in his career.

After pointing out that he had already played with one former Blues star, there was another easy answer for the Englishman.

"I have already been lucky enough to play with one ex-Chelsea player, Ashley Cole last year," Mount added.

"But I would love to play with the gaffer [Lampard]. I would have loved that."
