Mason Mount has revealed the identities of Chelsea’s biggest pranksters, while also naming the main colleague that he looks up to as a role model.

Mount says fellow countryman Ben Chilwell, who joined him in west London from Leicester City in August, has also quickly integrated himself at Chelsea due to his mischievous nature.

The 22-year-old also says Jorginho has a penchant for winding his team-mates up behind the scenes, with the Italian’s painful go-to practical joke centring around heated studs.

Asked if Chilwell is the biggest joker in the Blues squad, Mount told the UMM Youtube channel, via Goal, that: “Yes, he is up there. He recently joined. Jorginho definitely, he is always playing pranks.

“We warm our boots up in like a microwave, like a boot microwave. And because he wears studs, obviously they are metal, so they get so hot.

“So he will always just walk around with them in his hand and just tap it on your skin. He will get you in the back of the leg or something.”

Mount also praised 34-year-old striker Olivier Giroud for his influence at Chelsea, admitting the Frenchman has been a source of inspiration at the beginning of his own career.

“Obviously he has played at the top of the game for a long time and all of us younger boys have learnt a lot off him – speaking to a World Cup winner,” he said.

Asked if Giroud has ever brought his World Cup winners’ medal to the training ground, Mount responded: “I think when he won it.

“I wasn’t there at the time but I think he brought it into training when he got back.

“But his phone case has like world champions, and a little France flag and everything. He has a phone case like that, so I see it all the time.”
