Former Chelsea defender Frank Leboeuf has questioned why Mason Mount and Kai Havertz want to leave the club amid talk of their respective transfers to Manchester United and Arsenal.
An ongoing contract stalemate for Mount has contributed directly to the England international wanting to leave his boyhood club. Liverpool were early frontrunners but Man United are now favourites for his signature with a £40 million opening bid rejected by those at Stamford Bridge.
As for Havertz, a transfer to Real Madrid appeared on the cards but Chelsea's high valuation - which stands at £70m - saw that interest wane. However, the Gunners have shockingly swooped in and are now close to signing the Germany international.
