Though both Mount and Maddison shone in Sunday’s 1-1 draw at Stamford Bridge, the pair are two years apart in their development, and therefore attempting to compare is a tricky one.
They are both incredibly gifted footballers, however, and will no doubt become top players should they continue on the path they’re currently on.
