Liverpool are pushing hard to sign Chelsea's midfielder Mason Mount with their interest coming amid an impasse in his ongoing contract talks.
Mount's future at Stamford Bridge has been thrown into doubt, as a significant gap exists between the player and club in negotiations.
The England international is believed to want to treble his £80,000-a-week wages, which would put him in line with the other senior players and new signings.
Mount has 18 months remaining on his current Chelsea deal, which could force the Blues into a decision this summer.
