Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount said the team is'moving in the right direction' under Graham Potter after the Blues won their fourth consecutive game against AC Milan on Tuesday night.
Graham Potter has started the season unbeaten, as he has yet to lose a game since taking over for Thomas Tuchel.
Mason Mount is one of the Chelsea players who is starting to break through under Potter.
According to Mount, Graham Potter has continued where Thomas Tuchel left off, and the team hasn't changed all that much."It's been fantastic," he told BT Sport. You can see how we've been playing. We're an attacking threat going forward and a solid defensive unit. We're clearly heading in the right direction.
"The coach hasn't changed much; I'm just trying to get into the box and connect midfield to the strikers while remaining free." It's happened to me in the last couple of games, and I want more.
"I'm feeling great. I'm having fun, and we're doing well and scoring goals. Hopefully, I'll get a goal next time."I've been working on it, but I haven't finished it yet." I'll take the assists, allowing my teammates to score."

Man City must avoid Ilkay Gundogan gamble despite Jude Bellingham interest
Since joining Manchester City from Borussia Dortmund in 2016, Ilkay Gundogan has proven to be a dependable leader who can chip in with crucial goals when they are most needed. Nonetheless, the German midfielder, who has made over 250 appearances for the Blues, appears set to leave at the end of the season with no real push to keep him.
Gundogan, like third-choice goalkeeper Scott Carson, will be out of contract at the end of the season. And, with only eight months left on his current contract, it's unlikely that the reigning champions will offer him a new one.He is a fan favorite at the Etihad, his teammates and coaches adore him, and while he is unlikely to be wearing a blue shirt next season, he has the opportunity to go out with a bang. Following lengthy negotiations, the German international signed a new four-year contract in 2019 until 2023.
Both City and manager Pep Guardiola saw the midfielder as an important part of the club's plans as he entered his prime years. He has undeniably proven them correct.After effectively captaining the team for the majority of last season in the absence of Fernandinho, his teammates elected him as City's new club captain for this season. He spoke about how proud he was at the time, and he has demonstrated that every time he has crossed the white line, which is why some fans find it odd that his contract hasn't been extended.
According to CMW, Serie A giants Juventus are interested in signing Gundogan in January, with manager Max Allegri looking for a spark after a disappointing start to the season. It is reported that they will make an offer of £22 million to City in order to persuade the club to sell the 31-year-old six months early.
