Mason Mount has shone a light on one way to make it at Chelsea.

The 20-year-old midfielder has impressed Frank Lampard, both this season and before on loan at Derby County.

A host of youngsters will now make what could be their first steps towards making it with the Blues on loan.

We’ve rated their chances, including some players yet to go on loan and awaiting the right opportunity or recovering from injury. Extra weight has been given to those players with lengthy contracts with the club, while those set to become free agents next summer have had their chances cut.

Who will follow Mount, Tammy Abraham and Callum Hudson-Odoi and be handed a first team appearance in the future?

Which Chelsea loanee do you think has the best chance of making it one day at Stamford Bridge? Let us know @IndyFootball
