Jamie Redknapp called on Mason Mount to throw himself more into his pockets if he is to reach the level of Kevin De Bruyne

The two Premier League stars were on opposite sides as England beat Belgium in the Nations League, with playmaker Chelsea Mount scoring the winner in an impressive 2-1 victory for the Gareth Southgate team

But Redknapp, working for Sky Sports, was more impressed with Manchester City’s De Bruyne – although he finished on the losing side

Belgium took the lead thanks to a Romelu Lukaku penalty, before Marcus Rashford equalized on the spot at the other end

And although Mount took victory for the Three Lions, Redknapp believes he can do more to influence the games and become as important to England as De Bruyne is to Belgium

“They (Belgium) have such an amazing player,” Redknapp told Sky Sports “Ashley (Cole) and I were purring while watching some of Kevin De Bruyne’s passes He was picking up pockets

« Kevin De Bruyne plays in one of three positions, but he still got the license to go get the ball

« Wherever the ball is, he will find it Mason is that player who can do it for us, you don’t have to stay on the safe side, come in

« For the goal, that’s where he gets that fortune, which he deserved because he came in and scored the goal »

While Mount was on the pitch, playmaker Jack Grealish – who was the man of the match in England’s 3-0 win over Wales on Thursday – spent the night on the bench, but the Aston Villa man caught De Bruyne’s attention

« I rate it very high, » said De Bruyne. « This is someone I mentioned before, talking to City team-mates, in a random conversation

« In England they talked about creative issues in midfield, but he brings that to a team. He deserves a shot »
