<p>Mount has yet to make his debut for Chelsea’s first team but impressed for Championship side Derby during the last campaign, scoring 11 goals in 44 appearances in all competitions.</p>
<p>He played against the Blues in a Carabao Cup tie in October.</p>
<p>Mount added: <em>“I joined this club at six years old and it was always my goal to play for the first team one day.</em></p>
<p><em>“I’m really looking forward to the coming season now and working hard to have an impact here at Chelsea.</em></p>
<p><em>“I’ve been at the club for a long time already and hopefully I’ll stay for a long time to come.”</em></p>
<p>Mount had a loan spell at Vitesse Arnhem in 2017-18, scoring nine goals in 29 Eredivisie appearances and five more in three play-off games as the Dutch club qualified for the Europa League.</p>
<p>Chelsea director Marina Granovskaia said: <em>“Mason has come right the way through the Chelsea academy and has always stood out as a fantastic talent and dedicated individual.</em></p>
<p><em>“We have monitored his development extremely closely while he has been out on loan and believe he is now ready to be a member of our squad competing at the top of the Premier League.</em></p>
<p><em>“Like another of our academy graduates, Ruben Loftus-Cheek, we are delighted Mason has committed himself to the club this summer and look forward to an exciting future ahead.”</em></p>
