"I'm staying at Chelsea," the teenage Mount asserted, giving no consideration to his father's suggestion that he should, perhaps, take advantage of the interest several other top clubs were showing in him. "I've been here since I was six; it's my club.
"I will play first-team football here."
"If he hadn't learned to kick a ball," Tony Mount tells BBC Sport. "I think he might have wanted to box, although I'm glad he never did."
