Manchester United and Arsenal are reportedly vying for the signature of Chelsea’s Mason Mount, who is currently facing difficulties in reaching an agreement on a new contract with the Blues.
While Chelsea is eager to secure a new deal with Mount and retain him at Stamford Bridge, the midfielder appears to have expressed a desire to leave the club.
Arsenal is keen on adding him to Mikel Arteta’s squad, but they face strong competition from Manchester United and Liverpool, and whoever secures his services would definitely improve their best odds on the premier league if they did complete the transfer.
According to a report in The Daily Mail, Manchester United manager Erik ten Hag is confident that he can persuade Mount to join his rebuilding project at Old Trafford, disregarding interest from Arsenal and other potential suitors.
Just Arsenal Opinion
Mount is one of the finest midfielders in the league and it would be a no-brainer if we add him to our squad in the summer.
However, it would be tricky for us to achieve that, considering the clubs that are looking to add him to their squad.
He might prefer to stay in London over moving to any other city in the country, which will greatly boost our chances.

Not that bothered about Mount too much, as attacking midfielders is not our priority at the moment.
DM/CM’s is what we need at the moment.
Mason Mount is not the kind of player Arsenal need – We want quality players.
