Chelsea boss Graham Potter has made it clear that he wants star midfielder Mason Mount to stay at the club as his contract negotiations drag on.
Mount has been one of the Blues' best players since breaking into the senior team under Frank Lampard. He has been a key man for both of Lampard's successors, Thomas Tuchel and Potter, in the years since, winning the Champions League in 2021.
But a problem is rapidly approaching for the Chelsea hierarchy, with Mount's contract set to expire next summer. Negotiations over a new deal have been ongoing for some time, with Todd Boehly's consortium making it a key priority after their takeover of the club.
