Chelsea star Mason Mount is motivated by the quality of attacking midfielders in and around the England squad.

Mount is a key player for both Chelsea and England, despite having his critics among supporters.

He has been in outstanding form this season, and has retained his spot for the Blues since the arrival of Thomas Tuchel to replace Frank Lampard.

Now he is hoping to solidify his starting spot with England ahead of their World Cup Qualifiers.

"We all know how good (Grealish and Foden) are," said Mount when asked by reporters about competition for places in the starting lineup and 23-man squad.

"There are so many good players in this team and players who are not here at the moment with us. We just want to continue to be the best we can be. We always work hard.

"Jack, Phil… I've seen them do brilliant things and it motivates me to continue to do well.

"We all understand how many good players there are in this team. It excites us as players as we all have that same goal of winning things and doing great things with our country.

"That's the most important thing. We all have ambitions to win major trophies at England and at club level.

"We are competing at club level but when we are at England we are together. We're in a good place. Coming to England, I'm feeling confident and as a group we know what we can achieve."
