MESMERISED Mason Mount paid closer attention to Tammy Abraham than even Premier League defenders have been doing as the striker unveiled a ginger hairstyle in Chelsea training.
Midfielder Mount got touchy-feely with his fellow England starlet, gazing up and ruffling Abraham’s mane.

With Abraham, 22, on the Three Lions fringe, he decided it was time for a new tinge.
And although Abraham’s total of four internationals has been overtaken by Mason winning six caps in the last three months, it was the 20-year-old who looked up enviously as the Blues prepare for Wednesday’s Champions League trip to Valencia.
New England defender Fikayo Tomoro, 21, also stared in wonder at snood-wearing Abraham.
But Tomoro was probably just as entranced by the fascination shown by Mount.
On the pitch, too, Abraham has been adding new layers to his style.
Despite being regarded mainly as a poacher, all his ten Premier League goals this term have come from outside the six-yard box.
Even more incredibly, Abraham has yet to even have a scoring effort from within that goal-kick zone this campaign.
Perhaps adding a bob and a weave to his ginger crop will help reinstate his predatory opportunities.
Meanwhile, alongside Abraham, England midfielder Ross Barkley took a full role in training under the careful eye of boss Frank Lampard – following five weeks out with a hamstring injury.
