Chelsea’s Mason Mount looks set to leave the club and Manchester United are ready to submit a £55m bid to sign him, according to The Daily Mail.

Mount, 24, has a contract which expires in 2024 and has yet to come to agreement over new terms.

Mount is reportedly seeking a wage commensurate with his status as an England international and a senior player at Chelsea with Reece James’ £250,000-a-week deal thought to be a benchmark in negotiations.

Chelsea would want around £70m to let him go, with Arsenal and Liverpool also linked, but new Blues manager Mauricio Pochettino is reportedly keen to keep Mount if possible.
