# Supporters offer mixed views after Ashley Cole says he’d choose Mount over Maddison

Ashley Cole has caused a stir amongst many football supporters after he spoke of his admiration for Mason Mount, and made a call on whether he would pick the Chelsea youngster or James Maddison.

Speaking to Sky Sports following the Blues’ 1-1 draw with Leicester City on Sunday, Cole was asked who he would choose to have in his team if he could pick between Mount and Maddison.

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.
