He was left out of the starting XI by Potter for the west London club’s Champions League tie with Borussia Dortmund on Wednesday, which ended in a 1-0 defeat after Karim Adeyemi’s goal. Mount was brought on late in the game, but the midfielder looked far from his best.
And it has been suggested that the Cobham graduate has suffered due to speculation surrounding his future, with recent reports that he could be used in a swap deal with Atletico Madrid for Joao Felix, who is currently on loan from the Spanish club.
Chelsea’s priority is to keep Mount at the club in the second half of the season to avoid the £60m-rated star leaving for one of their rivals.
But it appears co-owners Todd Boehly and Behdad Eghbali will be forced to carry out the work, with director of football Christopher Vivell and co-sporting directors Laurence Stewart and Paul Winstanley likely to be key in those contract talks.
