Mason Mount could play a key role in Chelsea signing either or both of England midfield duo Declan Rice and Kalvin Phillips in the summer transfer window.
The pair have been linked with a move to the Blues come the end of the season, with Thomas Tuchel reportedly keen on bolstering his central ranks for the future.
The reports come amid uncertainty over the future of the Chelsea midfield, with Jorginho and N’Golo Kante having just 18 months remaining on their current contracts and entering their early 30s.
