'Neymar won't do what Mount does': Jason Cundy claims PSG wouldn’t get in England XI ahead of Chelsea player

Former Chelsea player Jason Cundy believes that a player like Neymar would not get anywhere near an England team.

"Neymar doesn't get anywhere near a team I want to support because it's him, he's not a team player," Cundy said on talkSPORT.

He was then asked if he preferred Mason Mount to the PSG star in his own hypothetical team.

"Yes! 100%, I'll tell you why?" Cundy said.

"Neymar won't do what Mount does. Neymar won't do the dirty work. He won't do that. If you're a team player you can't get in the team.

"Can you imagine if Neymar was English in that [Gareth] Southgate squad? Can you imagine the disruption, what it would do, the effect it would have? He's not part of the gang."

To be honest, this is as much a dig at Neymar as an act of support for Mount, but it still confirms that the Chelsea midfielder has a lot of fans among those who played the game.

The 23-year-old had a disappointing day in the goalless draw against the United States, but it's unlikely that Southgate stops trusting him in the middle of the tournament.
