A Chelsea supporters' group have announced plans to unveil a banner for Liverpool-linked midfielder Mason Mount this weekend.
Mount, who is one of a number of the Londoners' current first-team players to have graduated from their Cobham academy, has less than 18 months on his current deal at Stamford Bridge and reports last month claimed Anfied officials were keeping a close eye on the current contract impasse in West London.
But despite enjoying a fine rise since making his Premier League debut under former manager Frank Lampard in August 2019 and later playing an instrumental role as the club won their second European Cup, the England international has endured a torrid spell of form in recent months and understandably so given the current off-field changes that have taken place at Stamford Bridge since January 2022.

However, such form and stubbornness to agree on a new contract with Chelsea has seen the 24-year-old come in for some heavy, unfair criticism from a section of fans on social media.
But now supporters' group CFC_northstand have revealed their plans to honour Mount during Saturday's clash with West Ham United with a banner across Stamford Bridge's Matthew Harding stand that reads: 'Mason Mount. The boy who had a dream'.
The Instagram account, which boasts over 500 followers, claim to be responsible for some of the most eye-catching crowd mosaics to have taken to Stamford Bridge in recent time, including a touching tribute to the late Gianluca Vialli who passed away earlier this year.
The post promoting the return of Mount's banner this weekend was also supported with a message of support to the midfielder, reading: "Ignore the Twitter wallies who have never had the privilege to see you play - Stamford Bridge and the Matthew Harding stand will always back you!"
The Guardian last month reported Chelsea had stepped up their efforts to tie down Mount to a new long-term deal in the capital and later claimed Liverpool are "monitoring the situation closely and have been putting plans in place for a summer move".
As well as winning the Champions League, Mount has also won the Super Cup and Club World Cup and was included in Gareth Southgate's squad for the 2020 European Championships and 2022 World Cup.
