Frank Lampard has provided an update on Mason Mount, with the midfielder facing an uncertain future at Chelsea ahead of the summer transfer window. The 24-year-old has been heavily linked with an exit from Stamford Bridge lately having entered the final 12 months of his contract.
football.london understands that the Blues have been in talks with Mount over a new deal for a while now, but they've only recently reopened negotiations. It's said that conversations have been complicated, with the proposed length of contract and wage packet proving to be a significant hurdle.
The England international is not among the top earners at Cobham despite tallying nearly 200 appearances for the club. If an agreement isn't reached then Mount will become a free agent in June 2024 and, until then, he'll be on the market for a cut-price fee.
