Chelsea boss Graham Potter has praised star midfielder Mason Mount, but has refused to be drawn on speculation surrounding his future at the club. The talk surrounding an exit for the England international has come as talks over a new contract at Stamford Bridge have stalled.
Mount has just over one-year remaining on his current deal, leading to some reports claiming a move could be on the cards in the summer to avoid losing him on a free transfer. Liverpool have been the main side linked with a switch, with Jurgen Klopp looking to reinvigorate his midfield department.
The 24-year-old has often been a mainstay in the first-team since breaking through, though recent weeks have seen his minutes limited. In a cameo against Tottenham, many had pointed out that the Cobham academy graduate appeared annoyed, with links back to the contract situation.
