Dutch Eredivisie side Vitesse Arnhem are on the brink of announcing the signing of England U19 star Mason Mount on loan from Chelsea.

The 18-year-old midfielder is expected to arrive in the Netherlands on Monday, July 24 to complete his move to the
GelreDome outfit.

Vitesse have an excellent relationship with Chelsea, and have already loaned two of their youngsters Fankaty Dabo and Charlie Colkett, while Mukhtar Ali recently joined the club on a permanent basis.

Mount was one of the stars of this summer's European U19 Championship, he helped the Young Lions win the competition and started all their matches including the showpiece game against Portugal.

He replaced Nigerian defender Fikayo Tomori as Chelsea's Academy Player of the Year in May, and made the shortlist for the Premier League 2 Player of the Season award.
