It is already clear Santos is happy sitting deep, taking the ball off defenders, spotting gaps in passing lanes and pressurising opponents. It is not something he is generally noted for, but Mount is also not scared to make a tackle. "Defensively as well, we're both players that want to get around it, put tackles in, win the ball back and be aggressive. "Especially with a lot of younger players on the pitch, and off it as well, being able to speak to them and make them feel comfortable, it's something I really like." But Mount is certainly making a strong case to show the club already has what it needs in midfield.
