Frank Lampard remains in the dark over Mason Mount's future, but Liverpool are by no means closing in on the midfielder.
Chelsea's academy graduate looks set to miss the remainder of the season through injury, meaning the least successful campaign of his career will end prematurely. Mount, like his Blues side, has struggled to hit the heights expected with the 24-year-old having to deal with noise surrounding his future for months.
The Englishman's deal at Stamford Bridge is winding down and despite discussions there appears to have been little progress. It leaves him firmly in the lurch with Chelsea set for a reshuffle this summer. Lampard is the fourth different manager to pick a team in west London this term amid continued change.
