Chelsea ‘trying to sort out’ Mason Mount situation as Liverpool eye summer transfer swoop | Football | Sport
Mount, who scored 13 goals last season and laid on 16 assists to record his best goalscoring return for Chelsea, has endured a tough campaign so far and struggled to replicate those figures under Potter, with just three goals and six assists in 26 outings.
He has been a source of heavy criticism from fans on social media despite his impressive displays at club level, leading Potter to question why he has proved unpopular with some sections of the club.
“It’s a joy – he’s a fantastic person,” Potter said in October when asked about what it is like to work with Mount. “He loves to play football and loves the club. “It’s surprising that I get questions on mixed opinion about Mason.
“I find that strange, especially from the outside and then when you work with him you see he’s got everything you need to be a top, top player. Great attitude, he understands spaces, he can execute assists and score goals. He’s top.”
