Sky Sports pundit Paul Merson has said that Chelsea co-owner Todd Boehly should not sell Mason Mount to Mikel Arteta’s Arsenal or Jurgen Klopp’s Liverpool.
Arsenal and Liverpool have been linked with moves for Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount in the summer transfer window.
The Athletic reported this week that Arsenal are determined to sign Mount from London and Premier League rivals Chelsea.
Earlier this month, 90min reported that Arsenal and Liverpool are keen on securing the services of the 24-year-old England international midfielder.
Mount and Chelsea are unable to agree on a new deal, and the Gunners and the Reds are reportedly willing to take advantage of this situation.
Manchester United have also been linked with Mount.
Former Arsenal star Merson has outlined the reasons why Chelsea should not sell Mount to Chelsea or Arsenal.
Chelsea told not to sell Mason Mount to Arsenal or Liverpool
Merson wrote in SportsKeeda: “Chelsea face an uphill battle to finish in the top four next season, so they can’t afford to sell Mount to the likes of Arsenal, Manchester United or Liverpool, as they’d be strengthening one of their rivals.
“He’s come to a bit of a standstill this season but he was Chelsea’s Player of the Year in 2021 and has a wealth of experience for a 24-year-old.”
Summer transfer could happen
In our view, Arsenal or Liverpool could be able to sign Mason Mount from Chelsea in the summer transfer window.
There is no smoke without fire.
We believe that if Arsenal or Liverpool make a good offer, then the England international could well decide to make the move.
Yes, Mount has been on the books of Chelsea his entire club football career so far, but players do move.
