Bacary Sagna has given Mason Mount three reasons why he wouldn't get into the Arsenal starting line-up. The Chelsea star faces an increasingly uncertain future at Stamford Bridge having recently entered the final 18 months of his contract.
One of the priorities for Todd Boehly following the takeover last year was to tie the 24-year-old down to a new long-term deal, football.london understands. But, it's believed that negotiations have proven difficult thus far, with the proposed length of contract and wage packet proving to be an issue.
Mount is far from one of the top earners at the club despite being a seasoned England international. If the two parties cannot reach an agreement over a new deal, then the midfielder will leave the west London outfit for free in June 2024.
