Mount insists Abraham, Giroud competition benefitting Chelsea this season | OneFootball

Mason Mount says Chelsea's forward competition keeps 'everyone at a high level'.

Tammy Abraham was Frank Lampard's first choice striker to start the season, but Olivier Giroud has scored 5 goals in the Blues' last two matches.

And Mount believes the competition is helping Chelsea maintain a high standard.

"Oli has five goals in two games now so he's in unbelievable form and that's what we need from the whole squad," Mount told the club's website.

"Obviously Tammy has been doing brilliantly and then Oli comes in for the Champions League, scores four goals and now he's scored again.

"That's what we need because that competition for places keeps everyone at a high level. It's what the gaffer always goes on about.

"We're in a good position but we need to keep working hard, keep the standards high and keep winning games."
