Mason Mount has emerged as a shock transfer target for Arsenal this summer, but has been told he should stay at Chelsea by Gunners legend Emmanuel Petit.
Arsenal boss Mikel Arteta is keen on heavily bolstering his midfield options ahead of next season and Mount's close friend and West Ham captain Declan Rice has long been touted as the Gunners' main focus once the window opens. However, recent reports have claimed those at the top of the Arsenal hierarchy are as equally keen on a move for Mount.
The Chelsea academy graduate sees his Blues contract expire in June of next year, which puts Frank Lampard's side in a difficult position. This summer presents the club's last realistic chance to cash in on the England international or risk Mount leaving on a free in the summer window of 2024.
