David Luiz has backed Mason Mount to become "the future of Chelsea".

The 20-year-old has returned to Stamford Bridge after an enormously impressive loan campaign at Derby County.

And Luiz thinks Mount can make his mark on the Premier League this season.

"He's my boy! I think we had the opportunity to meet each other years and years ago when he was just a little kid, 10 or 11 years old, and now to have the opportunity to play with him is great," Luiz told the George Benson Football YouTube channel.

"I think he did great when he was at Derby. I'm so happy because I'm seeing a player with a great mentality, great talent.

"Everybody knows he's got the talent, everybody knows he's got the goals, but I love to see the way he trains, the way he likes to listen and try to improve. I think he is going to be the future of Chelsea the present and the future and England for sure."
