Chelsea have reopened talks with Mason Mount in a bid to fend off transfer interest and extend the academy graduate's stay at Stamford Bridge.
A host of Premier League clubs, including Liverpool and Manchester United, have been credited with an interest in the highly-rated midfielder's services amid his contract stand-off with the Blues.
And despite reports claiming that the Londoners could decide to cash in on the England star in the summer after hitting a stalemate in contract negotiations, Blues co-owner Todd Boehly has initiated fresh talks with Mount, 24, to try and strike a resolution that will keep the popular midfielder in the capital.
