Frank Lampard sends blunt Mason Mount future message amid Liverpool transfer interest
Chelsea manager Frank Lampard has delivered a blunt response on Mason Mount's future at Stamford Bridge amid reported interest from Premier League rivals Liverpool and Manchester United.
Having shelved their initial plans to target Borussia Dortmund sensation Jude Bellingham when the market reopens, due to the immense financial costs involved, Jurgen Klopp and his recruitment team will instead spread their budget on several midfield recruits. As things stand, Alexis Mac Allister from Brighton is among their prime targets.
However, countless names - including Mount - continue to do the rounds as potential alternatives for the Reds. The 24-year-old is at a contract standstill right now with 13 months left to run on his current agreement.
