Mason Mount has become a pivotal member of the Chelsea squad and is set to be rewarded with improved terms at the club.
Mason Mount is
reportedly set to be rewarded for his fine Chelsea form with an improved contract
at the club.
According to
Goal, the English midfielder is set to be offered fresh terms at Stamford
Bridge, with his current deal set to expire in the summer of 2024.
As per the reports, Mount is
set to double his wages in west London from the £75,000-per-week deal that he
is currently earning with Chelsea.
It has been suggested that he
is yet to be offered a formal contract offer, with the likes of Antonio
Rudiger, Andreas Christensen and Trevoh Chalobah all being prioritised first,
but there is not expected to be a problem in negotiations as Mount is reported
to be ‘delighted’ to renew.
The decision to extend Mount’s
stay at Stamford Bridge follow a meteoric rise into the Chelsea first team over
the past couple of seasons since being handed an opportunity by Frank Lampard.
The 22-year-old is now one of
the most important names on the teamsheet having made 116 appearances for the
club since his debut, scoring 17 goals.
That has seen Mount also earn
international recognition, with the midfielder now having 26 England caps to
his name since his debut in 2019.

Intriguingly, the midfielder
was left on the bench for Chelsea’s 1-0 win against Brentford at the weekend
but Blues boss Thomas Tuchel has confirmed that he was only left out due to his
excursions over the latest international break.
The German said: “Mason [Mount]
deserves always usually to start but he played for the national team so we keep
him back, and it is the same with Jorginho and all the others.”
So far this season, Mount has
made nine appearances in all competitions for Chelsea, providing a solitary
assist in the Blues’ 2-0 victory against Arsenal back in August.
