Nevin says Mount’s form is the highlight of the Tuchel era so far.
He has highlighted the midfielder’s ability to find space between the lines and the way he uses the ball.
Nevin has praised Mount and CHO’s partnership, saying it could become something special.
“The highlight for me however in these early days of Thomas Tuchel has been the attitude and form of Mason Mount,” Nevin has written for Chelsea’s official website.

“Plenty of people have suggested he has been, on balance, Chelsea’s best player this season. He has certainly been the most reliable, but his brief showing against Wolves stole the show and against Burnley, I honestly think he just shaded it over Callum for Man of the Match. “He has been finding great space in that area between the opposition defence and midfield while his control of the ball when he receives it looks as good as anyone in the club.

“He is always on the half turn, his vision is great, always knowing who and what is around him and he is as willing as anyone to make runs beyond defenders to give others a pass option. “This is all fine, but it is his understanding with Callum that has been the most exciting innovation. More often than not Mason has been posted further left when Callum has been either wide on the right, or even slightly wider still, on the substitutes’ bench.

“You always want to look for players who have an understanding, but it is really only in these last couple of outings when they have been playing close together in that area of the field that I have realised just how special that understanding could become.
