Liverpool look set to pile on the misery as Jurgen Klopp reportedly eyes an ambitious raid of Chelsea in the summer. Graham Potter faces an increasing uncertain future at Stamford Bridge following the Blues' defeat to Aston Villa, with the club slipping into the bottom-half of the Premier League.
Mason Mount, who sees his contract in west London expire at the end of next season, has been subject to serious interest from the Reds, football.london understands. It's said that Todd Boehly is keen to tie the 24-year-old down to a long-term deal but negotiations have proven difficult thus far, with the proposed length of contract and wage packet an issue.
He's believed to be far from one of the top earners at Chelsea despite having nearly 200 appearances for the club under his belt. football.london also understands that the Cobham graduate wants to stay at his boyhood club, but the feeling is mutual that either party is some way off an agreement, as it stands.
