Mason Mount has been tipped to make England's Euro 2020 team by Chelsea team-mate Ross Barkley.
Midfielder Mount has been called up for this month’s Euro qualifiers against Bulgaria and Kosovo.
Barkley has likened Mount to a young Frank Lampard and believes the 20-year-old will earn a starting place in the England side by next summer.
Mount could make his England debut against Bulgaria on Saturday or against Kosovo next Tuesday.
Barkley said: “I believe he will be in the squad 100 per cent when it comes to it.
"Then it is down to him but I believe he will be [in the team] because of how good he is and the things I have seen this season.
“The way he arrives in the box and gets shots away early, it is similar to Lamps. He has a really good technique with how he finishes as well. He is a brilliant player.”
Mount has scored two goals this season and been Chelsea’s star performer under Lampard.
“He is hungry to improve, hungry to score and hungry to help the team in any way he can, if it is out on the left, in the No10 or in a midfield three,” said Barkley.
Tammy Abraham, who missed out on an England call-up, scored Chelsea’s goals in the 2-2 draw against Sheffield United on Saturday to take his tally to four this season.
