Liverpool legend Steven Gerrard knows a thing or two about having his head swayed by rival opposition in the Premier League.
Former Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho made several attempts in 2004 to lure Gerrard to Stamford Bridge from his boyhood club, but the Reds captain eventually decided to stay at Anfield weeks after lifting the UEFA Champions League trophy in 2005. Mason Mount may find himself in a similar position to Gerrard, with the England international's contract running down at Stamford Bridge with reports suggesting Liverpool are keen on signing the 23-year-old.
The Blues midfielder has been a consistently key performer under different managers since breaking into the senior team at Chelsea. football.london understands one of the key factors affecting negotiations between Mount and the club over a new contract is the length of the new deal being offered.
