Incoming Chelsea manager, Mauricio Pochettino, has identified Mason Mount is set to be handed a key role under him, despite uncertainty surrounding his future at the club.
Pochettino is keen to work with the midfielder, who he views as a potentially integral figure in his system.
According to the Daily Mail, the Argentine is a big fan of Mount’s work rate and technical ability.
Mount is out of contract in June 2024 and there has been little progress made in negotiations over a new deal.
As a result, he has been linked with a summer exit, with Liverpool, Bayern Munich and Arsenal all keen.
The 24-year-old has struggled to recapture his best form this season, scoring only three goals and providing six assists in all competitions.
