England’s Luke Shaw has claimed on ‘The Lion’s Den’ that he is a massive fan of Chelsea’s Mason Mount.
The pair are part of the 26-man squad that are out in Qatar representing the Three Lions at the unprecedented winter World Cup.
They are preparing for England’s first game of the tournament, which is scheduled for Monday afternoon against Iran.
Shaw is certain to be a starter, after Ben Chilwell’s injury ruled him out of the World Cup just weeks before the competition.
Mount has always been a reliable figure for Gareth Southgate to rely on at international level. When he was forced to drop him earlier this season after bad form, he showed exactly what he means to the team with a sensational cameo against Germany.
The Manchester United man has spoken of how great for the team spirit Mount is, with his relationship with Declan Rice infecting on the rest of the camp.
Shaw loves Mount
He said: “I love them both man, they’re so funny and their energy is so good to be around. If I’m third wheeling, then it’s still good.
“He’s getting jealous because Mase is coming more towards me now!”
The Blues are reportedly interested in a move for the West Ham United man. Darren Bent has recently stated that he needs a move to a top side in order to reach the next level as a player.
As for Mount, he has made it clear just how much representing his international team means to him, especially at a major tournament.
The Chelsea man has claimed he will bury his shirt forever if the Three Lions are successful in Qatar.
With them following up a semi-final appearance in 2018 with a European final last year, form would suggest they are headed in the right direction.
