Mason Mount links make Chelsea unsure about his future at the club. Frank Lampard thinks that he won’t extend his contract. Arsenal are likely to be seeking reinforcements in midfield this summer after what has been a brilliant campaign so far. They have Champions League football next season and need extra squad depth.
What are the links currently circulating about Mason Mount
Liverpool have been the club to be most heavily linked with signing Mason Mount. According to a recent report from GOAL, Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal are also discussing a potential summer deal.
It is an open secret that Liverpool are looking to revamp their engine room for next season and have been linked with several targets ahead of the summer window.
€60 million midfielder Mason Mount could be on his way to a big club. He could be on his way to Arsenal along with Rice. He is also heavily linked with Liverpool. Mount, 24, will be out of contract at Stamford Bridge next summer. After rejecting Chelsea’s renewal offers, appears on course to move clubs this summer.
It is going to be interesting to see who will win the race to sign Mount. If both Liverpool and Arsenal decide to formalise their interest in signing the midfielder at the end of this season. Mount has scored just three goals and provided two assists in 24 Premier League appearances this season. But has started just one of Chelsea’s last 10 top-flight matches.
Where Mount fits into this Arsenal team is unknown. He may not be defensively sound enough to fit into Granit Xhaka’s role. One would imagine that both Martin Odegaard and Gabriel Martinelli would be favoured in the attacking midfield spots that Mount can also occupy.
Chelsea are in no rush to let the player leave. With the contract talks hitting a speed bump as of late. Liverpool won’t give up this transfer battle without a fight. Mason Mount would be a talent that would fit to any club. However, this is the best time to move in for a player like him. With contract talks on hold he is available for cheap than usual.
