A claim has been made that Arsenal have ramp up their pursuit to complete a shock transfer for Mason Mount in the summer.
A report surfaced on Thursday that claimed that the Chelsea midfielder looks increasingly likely to join Liverpool next season.
However, it seems Arsenal mean business when it comes to sealing a potential transfer involving Mason Mount in the following campaign.
Arsenal ramp up Mason Mount transfer chase
The 24-year-old has had a nightmarish campaign at Stamford Bridge, not impressing both performances and numbers wise.
In fact, Emile Smith-Rowe had admitted that he was watching clips of ‘creative’ players such as his fellow countryman to hone his craft, as quoted by the Sun.
Despite Mason Mount being in the worst form of his career, GOAL journalist Charles Watts has reported that Arsenal held talks to complete a transfer for him.
Additionally, it is mentioned that a vital reason why the Gunners are keen on signing the England international is due to his versatility.
As Edu Gaspar and Mikel Arteta are looking to build a squad capable of competing domestically and in Europe, the club appreciates Mount’s ability to play across different roles in the final third.
HITC View: Arteta could get Mount back to his best
While even several Arsenal fans may sneer at the possibility of a transfer involving Mason Mount, Mikel Arteta is the perfect manager to kickstart his redemption arc.
24 is not considered young in football but in real life terms, it certainly is.
Considering Arteta’s faultless track record when it comes to younger players like Smith-Rowe, Saka and Nketiah, he could ensure that he gets back to his best again.
The Champions League winner has already achieved a lot in his relatively short career and under a manager that finds a role that suits him, he could achieve superstar status in the near future.
