Former Chelsea defender backs England boss picking Mason Mount ahead of two other Three Lions stars

Glen Johnson believes Gareth Southgate is right in picking Mason Mount over Jack Grealish and James Maddison for England.

Former Chelsea right-back explains that despite being Aston Villa’s main man, but when Grealish “goes to the England camp he’s not the main man.”

He told Compare Bet: “At the moment, I think he’s (Southgate) probably getting it right picking Mount.

“But look, in terms of what Grealish can do, of course, we’ve seen him in fantastic form, but it’s a difficult one.

“With Grealish, he’s Villa’s main man and loves being the main man, but when he goes to the England camp he’s not the main man.

“So he’s got to adapt the way he plays and when he learns to do that, then I think he’ll certainly climb the ladder in Southgate’s pecking order.”
