Mason Mount sent £70m Chelsea message amid contract dispute and Thomas Tuchel reunion stance

Chelsea have been told by former player Glen Johnson they should sell Mason Mount this summer amid his contract dispute and a significant dip in form. The Cobham graduate sees his current deal expire in 2024 with talks over an extension delayed on numerous occasions this season before ultimately being planned for the end of the season.

Alongside the off-pitch struggles involving negotiations, Mount has endured arguably his worst spell in a Chelsea shirt following his introduction into the first team in 2019. Under Graham Potter, Mount was a regular starter but struggled to deliver consistently in attack.

Injuries have also played a role in his difficulties this season with the abdominal issue that has bothered him for a number of months still keeping him out. The return of Frank Lampard, the man who first brought Mount into the senior team, could help his form improve, however if that does not turn out to be the case, former Chelsea star Glen Johnson has told Mount exactly which club he should join.
