MAURICIO POCHETTINO EXPLICITLY INSTRUCTS CHELSEA TO KEEP 'TENACIOUS' PLAYER FROM BEING SOLD
According to reports, Mauricio Pochettino, the incoming manager of Chelsea, has instructed his managers not to sell Mason Mount despite interest from Mikel Arteta's Arsenal and Jurgen Klopp's Liverpool.
Mason Mount should remain at the club, according to 90min, and Mauricio Pochettino has made it known to the Chelsea administrators.
The England midfielder is a target for Liverpool and Arsenal in the next summer transfer window.
According to the article, Pochettino "has made it abundantly clear to Chelsea that he wants to see a new contract handed to the academy graduate" and is "a huge fan of Mount."
Pochettino, a former head coach of Tottenham Hotspur, has reportedly agreed to lead Chelsea and will sign the contract soon, according to 90min.
Mason Mount might remain in Chelsea.
In our opinion, Mauricio Pochettino may be able to prevent Mason Mount from leaving the Blues during the summer transfer window. Tony Cascarino, a former Chelsea player, called Mount "tenacious" in The Times in March 2023.
It is quite possible that Chelsea managers would reach an agreement and meet Mount's requests for a new contract if the Argentine manager is willing for the England international midfielder to remain at Stamford Bridge.
We think that if Pochettino wants Mount, then the Chelsea management will have to make sure that the midfielder stays because Pochettino will create a side that can contend for big trophies and win titles.
