Liverpool have leapfrogged Arsenal and Tottenham in the race to sign Mason Mount. The 24-year-old faces an increasingly uncertain future at Stamford Bridge having recently entered the final 18 months of his contract.
With Mount yet to commit his long-term future to the Blues, football.london understands that negotiations have proven difficult — so much so that he's reportedly appointed a new agent, Neil Fewings, to help resolve the saga. The midfielder is far from one of the top earners at Chelsea despite having 192 Premier League appearances under his belt and several caps for England.
If the two parties cannot reach an agreement over a new contract then Mount will leave the west London outfit for free in June 2024. In the meantime, the Cobham graduate will be available for a cut-price fee and he's already begun to attract interest from several top clubs.
