Mason Mount has been openly reflecting on what has been a difficult season for him from an individual and club standpoint. This campaign has been far from Mount's most profitable, having registered just three goals to his name despite only Kai Havertz having accumulated more playing minutes in the Chelsea squad.
This has led to an apparent openness for the England international to depart this summer, with contract talks between the player and club having stalled. The 24-year-old has found regular starting berths far harder to come by under Graham Potter than was the case under previous managers Thomas Tuchel and Frank Lampard.
This off-pitch speculation, coupled with a relative falling down the pecking order, has led to clubs circling around the midfielder in an attempt to snatch him for a cut-price deal this summer. Liverpool have seemingly placed themselves at the front of the queue as Mount soon enters the final 12 months of his Chelsea contract.
