Chelsea are closing in on the formal announcement of Mauricio Pochettino as new manager and one of the first things on the agenda as incoming boss will be the futures of Mason Mount and N'Golo Kante.
Incoming Chelsea boss Mauricio Pochettino reportedly plans to make Mason Mount one of his most important players and a leader of Chelsea's revolution despite uncertainty surrounding the midfielder's future at Stamford Bridge.
Mount's Chelsea future under Pochettino
Mount has been the subject of transfer speculation since the contract impasse with Chelsea was first revealed.
The 24-year-old has rejected several contract offers from the Blues and his current deal expires next June.
If an agreement cannot be reached, Chelsea will have no choice but to seriously consider offloading the English midfielder in the upcoming summer transfer window, with Liverpool, Manchester United, and London rivals Arsenal all tipped to make a move.
