Nobody made more Premier League appearances for us this season than
21-year-old Mount (37), who scored seven goals and registered five
assists. Off the ball, his work ethic and incessant pressing was a key
component of Frank Lampard's tactical set-up, and he displayed his
versitility by appearing across the midfield as well as on the flanks or
behind a striker.
He marked his Stamford Bridge debut with a goal, against Leicester, and it
was his free-kick on the final day at home to Wolves that set us on our
way to a vital victory that secured Champions League football for next
term.
Pulisic's first season as a Blue was interrupted by injury in the early
months of 2020, but when he was on the pitch he was consistently electric,
a constant menace drifting in off the left and troubling defences with his
direct running, speed and skill in possession. He announced himself with a
perfect hat-trick at Burnley in October, and followed that treble up with
goals against Watford and Crystal Palace.
The American, also 21, hit top form after the restart, netting against
Aston Villa, Manchester City, Crystal Palace and Liverpool, with those
strikes against the league's top two especially catching the eye. He also
provided four assists across an exciting maiden campaign at Stamford
Bridge.
The other players on the shortlist are: Mason Greenwood, Marcus Rashford,
Trent Alexander-Arnold, Jack Grealish, Dean Henderson and Anthony Martial.
Voting closes at 6pm UK time on Monday 10 August, with votes submitted on
the TAG Heuer website.
