Frank Lampard has admitted he is powerless to influence Mason Mount's future at Chelsea.
Mount’s Chelsea contract expires next summer and, as it stands, the two parties are no closer to reaching an agreement over an extension. The midfielder’s representatives, it is claimed, want a contract that reflects his significance to the club.
Liverpool are known admirers of the player who, aged 24 and qualifying as homegrown, fits the profile required by both Fenway Sports Group and the recruitment team as they look to overhaul Jurgen Klopp's engine room in the summer.
