James Maddison was totally amazed by the party trick Mason Mount pulled out whilst the pair took part in England’s World Cup training session.
Maddison could only sit back in astonishment as the Chelsea player delivered his signature move on film: speed clapping.
“Do a rapid one, just for the camera,” urged the Leicester City forward to his compatriot.
Right on cue, Mount moved his hands together with lightening pace.
“That’s got to be a world record,” responded Maddison in total awe.
He and Bukayo Saka then tried to take part in the talent show, but failed to recreate the quick clap.
Thankfully, the other two England internationals have enough footballing ability to make up for their lack of breakneck applause.
James Maddison can match Mason Mount
Saka has shown the entire globe his quality whilst delivering the goods for the Three Lions at the World Cup.
Arsenal’s young Gunner has already scored three times in the competition, as he hunts down Lionel Messi and Kylian Mbappe for the Golden Boot.
Meanwhile, Maddison hasn’t yet graced the tournament with his elegant presence.
An injury ahead of the footballing festivities meant the fantastic Mr Fox was a doubt to even jet off to Qatar.
He still boarded the plane with the squad, but did not take part in several of the initial training sessions.
The 26-year-old eventually reintegrated with the group, yet Gareth Southgate is still yet to select him for a World Cup fixture.
Yet, Maddison is an excellent option to bring on from the bench to change a game.
Chelsea are well aware of his gift, as they are reportedly interested in signing Leicester’s number 10.
Whilst Todd Boehly might not be able to view his apparent target on the grandest sporting stage, he will surely have enough data to deliver his verdict.
Maddison had been in magnificent form leading up to the World Cup, scoring seven times and providing four assists in 13 Premier League appearances.
With Brendan Rodgers’ side dangling far too close to the regulation zone at one stage, his star man will surely be eyeing up the glitz and glam of the Champions League.
Whilst Chelsea might not be able to offer that next season, they are guaranteed to get Maddison’s name up in lights more than most.
