Mason Mount

Chelsea transfer news: The Blues are eyeing potential replacements for Mason Mount this summer.

That’s to stop the Cobham Academy graduate leaving on a free deal after, with the possibility of a switch seeming more likely as talks over an extension stall. The likes of Manchester United and Liverpool have been linked with a swoop for the England international in the coming months.

“They are just complicated and it is best that I speak little about it, let them get on with it in deciding what is right for both parties. I am not naive. I know it is an important time for him and an important contract. These things have to be right for him and his family. It’s important he makes a decision on that basis.”

While there is uncertainty over the future of Mount, plans to succeed him appear to be in place as rumours linking Chelsea with other options emerge. One of which is Fulham’s Andreas Pereira as ESPN reports that the playmaker is eyed as a target for the Blues in the coming months.

The former Manchester United star made the switch to west London last summer after a decade spent at Old Trafford and has impressed since becoming a first-team regular. The report claims that Fulham value Periera at £25-to-£35million and a move could depend on the future of manager Marco Silva.
