Paul Merson believes Mason Mount’s contract should be prioritised by Chelsea

Chelsea are considering letting Mason Mount go in the summer 2023.

Former Arsenal and England footballer Paul Merson has recently shared his thoughts on the potential departure of Mason Mount from Chelsea in the summer of 2023. According to Merson, letting Mount go would be a “bad business” move for the club and they should instead prioritize securing his contract.

Mason Mount, who is currently 24 years old, has been a standout player for Chelsea in recent years, earning a starting spot in the team and being a key contributor in their success. However, his contract with the club is set to expire in the summer of 2024, which has led to speculations about his future at the club.

Merson believes that Chelsea should do everything in their power to keep Mount, who he considers to be one of the best young talents in the game. He argues that letting him go would be a mistake, as he has proven himself to be a valuable asset to the team and has the potential to become even better in the future.

Moreover, Merson points out that other clubs would undoubtedly be interested in signing Mount, and Chelsea would risk losing him to a rival team if they do not act fast. In his opinion, the club should prioritize securing Mount’s contract as soon as possible to avoid any uncertainty surrounding his future.
