Chelsea star Mason Mount is under contract at Stamford Bridge until 2024 with talks over a renewal having stalled in recent weeks.
The English midfielder has been one of the standout performers this season, particularly since Graham Potter replaced Thomas Tuchel in charge at Chelsea. Mount has registered eight goal contributions in 21 appearances and will now head out to Qatar for the World Cup after being included in Gareth Southgate's England squad.
The Blues head into the World Cup break on the back of four consecutive defeats in all competitions and have already been dumped out of the Carabao Cup in the third round after finishing runners-up last term. The defeat against Newcastle on Saturday leaves Graham Potter's side eighth in the Premier League table, eight points off the top four.
