Manchester City pair Phil Foden and Georgia Stanway each have a mural as do Tottenham ace Steven Bergwijn and Liverpool’s Trent Alexander-Arnold – all near their respective clubs.
The five players chosen by EA Sports honour their FIFA Next ambassadors – footballers that are at the forefront of the next generation.
And Mount was delighted with his mural in Fulham that is being displayed outside Stamford Bridge.

He said: “As a lifelong Chelsea fan, having a mural installed just around the corner from Stamford Bridge, celebrating the next generation of emerging talent is amazing.
“I’m pleased with how my career has progressed to date, but the hard work never stops – this is just the start.”
The 21-year-old later shared a picture of the artwork on Instagram alongside the caption: “From the academy to having a mural next to the bridge! Speechless.”
Chelsea fans were also loving the design, with one tweeting: “Wow that’s amazing. Love it.”
Another said: “What a picture. Super Mount.”
A third added: “This is extremely awesome!”
Mount had been awarded an 80-rated card on FIFA 21 – a five point upgrade on his score in last year’s edition of the popular game.
The playmaker has bagged once and assisted another during eight Premier League appearances for Chelsea this season.
