Darren Bent has encouraged Arsenal to sign Mason Mount instead of Neymar, with Mikel Arteta eager to further bolster his frontline. The Paris Saint-Germain winger faces an increasingly uncertain future in the French capital, and Europe's richest clubs are expected to battle it out for his signature this summer.
It's said that PSG are keen to offload Neymar in order to free up space on their wage bill. In fact, they're said to be so eager to sell the Brazil international that they would be willing to accept a 'significantly reduced' offer for his signature, according to Brazilian outlet UOL.
As for Mount, football.london understands that negotiations have been complicated, with the proposed length of contract and wage packet proving to be a significant hurdle. The 24-year-old midfielder could be available for a discounted price this summer having recently entered the final 12-months of his deal.
