Chelsea star Mason Mount is under contract at Stamford Bridge until 2024 with talks over a renewal being paused whilst he was away with England at the World Cup in Qatar. The Three Lions suffered quarter-final heartbreak as they lost 2-1 to reigning world champions, France.
The English midfielder has been one of the standout performers this season, particularly since Graham Potter replaced Thomas Tuchel in charge at Chelsea. Mount has registered eight goal contributions in 21 appearances and will now head out to Qatar for the World Cup after being included in Gareth Southgate's England squad.
One of the key stumbling blocks Todd Boehly has faced in negotiations has been the length of the new deal, football.london understands. Contract talks are set to continue once Mount returns to Cobham ahead of the Premier League resuming on Boxing Day, but a deal is still someway off being finalised.
