Even the hiring of Mauricio Pochettino as the new Chelsea manager has failed to persuade Mason Mount that his future lies at Stamford Bridge.

It was initially thought that, once Mount had confirmed his intention to turn his back on Chelsea, he would be making a move to Anfield to enjoy a Liverpool career under Jurgen Klopp.

There’s certainly room for him to slot straight in given that the Reds bid farewell to James Milner, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and Naby Keita at the end of the 2022/23 Premier League campaign.

However, it’s what Liverpool can’t offer him that has virtually ruled them out of the race.
