Stan Collymore has said that leaving Chelsea for Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool would be a step up for Mason Mount.

The former Liverpool striker has written in CaughtOffSide that if Mount gets the chance to join the Reds from Premier League rivals Chelsea, then he should do it.

The Guardian have reported that Liverpool are keen on signing the England international midfielder in the summer transfer window.

The Daily Mail have reported that Mount is on £80,000 per week at Chelsea at the moment and wants to get a new deal worth £240,000 per week.

Liverpool are reportedly working hard to get a deal done for the 24-year-old.

Mason Mount told to leave Chelsea for Liverpool

Collymore wrote: “Are we really reading too much into Mason Mount deleting his Twitter? Possibly.

“I know that Liverpool have been sniffing around Mason and if you’re putting two and two together and making 22 rather than four, the suggestion could be that he’s going to sign for Liverpool, the deal is already done, and as and when he signs for Liverpool and it becomes fact on social media, Chelsea fans will have a pop at him. It’s his club and he’s been there a long, long, time.

“There were rumours that Todd Boehly wanted to give him a new contract but I think that going to Liverpool would be a step up. I think if Chelsea were above them in the table it would still be a step up because going to a club like Liverpool, Man United, Real Madrid, Bayern Munich, Juventus and AC Milan – they’re once in a lifetime clubs. That’s no disrespect to what Chelsea have achieved.”

HITC Verdict: Summer transfer could happen

In our view, Liverpool could be able to sign Mason Mount from Chelsea in the summer transfer window.

If the midfielder does not sign a new contract in the coming weeks, then Chelsea could be forced into cashing in on him.

Liverpool do need to sign midfielders in the summer transfer window, and a dynamic player such as Mount would make manager Jurgen Klopp’s side better in the middle of the park.
