Mason Mount has three-word reaction after shocking news from Chelsea
Reece James was confirmed as Chelsea’s new club captain yesterday, which has prompted a three-word response from Mason Mount.
The Blues announced on their official website on Wednesday that Reece James, 23, is the new permanent captain.
Chelsea have been in very safe hands with Cesar Azpilicueta as the club’s skipper in recent years, but his move to Atletico Madrid this summer left the senior role vacant
Chelsea head coach Mauricio Pochettino, along with the club, have decided James is the right candidate to step into the role.
The right-back knows the club inside out after his rise through the system Cobham, so let’s hope he can emulate John Terry as a very successful academy graduate to captain the first team.
James uploaded a heartfelt post on Instagram after the confirmation he’s become the new captain.
Mason Mount, who Chelsea sold to Manchester United this summer, issued a three-word reaction in the comment section.
“So proud brother,” Mount wrote.
Mount, 24, is a fellow Chelsea academy graduate that many tipped to become the future captain one day. Instead, he’s now a Manchester United player and will look to hit the ground running at Old Trafford this season.
Thankfully, the Blues are in a great position with James.
