Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount has revealed his England dream amid his Wembley woes with the Blues in recent seasons.
Since his breakthrough into the first team in 2019, the 23-year-old has already tasted success at the Blues.
He has won the Champions League, the Super Cup and the Club World Cup in three seasons.

However, he has had the opportunity to win even more, with Chelsea reaching a multitude of finals in recent campaigns.
The past three FA Cup finals have all featured the Blues, but they failed to win on each occasion.
A Carabao Cup final also saw Mount taste defeat, with the Cobham graduate first losing at Wembley in the 2019 play-off final with Derby County.
When speaking to The Times, Mount commented on his luck at the national stadium, with last summer’s Euro 2020 final with England also seeing him finish on the losing side.

“It’s six or seven finals now I haven’t won at Wembley and you start thinking, ‘Am I ever going to win?’
“But, for me, I just think you have to stay positive and the positive thing is we are getting there and getting that opportunity to win.
“To think in the space of a year have us win the Euros and them as well, it would have been unbelievable.

“It didn’t happen. We have another opportunity to do it soon (at the World Cup in November), and hopefully we can achieve it.”
His interview was conducted alongside Chelsea Women star Fran Kirby, who was part of the Lionesses squad that won the Women’s Euros this summer.
Mount was in attendance at Wembley for the final against Germany, with England winning the tournament in extra-time.

He also spoke on what it is like to play a final at the famous stadium: “From my experience being in the final of the Euros and how hectic it is, you get on the ball and think, ‘I need to play it quick because I’m going to get pressed here’.
“I just wanted to get it out my feet and play and not get tackled. To see (the Lionesses) all so calm on the ball, playing out from the back, and moving up the pitch together, it was amazing to see.
“I was celebrating everything — the goals, the final whistle. Me and Phil (Foden) were jumping around.
“To feel what the nation felt like after the win it was unbelievable and it made me realise what it could have felt like if we did the same.”

Mount has played eight games for Chelsea so far this season, and has been called up to the England squad for their upcoming Nations League fixtures.
