Chelsea defender Cesar Azpilicueta is full of praise for young teammates Tammy Abraham and Mason Mount.

The pair have shone in preseason.

Azpilicueta told chelseafc.com: "They are two very talented players who had a great path in our Academy. They had great spells on loan last season. The next step is to perform well in the first team at Chelsea.

"They are Chelsea boys, they dream of having the opportunity in the first team, and hopefully they can keep working the way they have been doing since they came for the first training session.

"A goal is very important for Tammy," added Azpi of the 21-year-old's opener for victory yesterday against Barcelona.

"He worked very hard for the team but to score gives that boost to the strikers. With Mason's work-rate and his passing ability, the only way he can go is forward. I am sure they will both be very important for us."
