When discussing Mount, Jones told GIVEMESPORT that Graham Potter was a great fan of his. If Mason Mount were about to sign a new contract, I wouldn’t be surprised in the least.

This season, Mount hasn’t quite been performing at his normal level; in seven games, he hasn’t scored or provided an assist. It will be intriguing to see if he begins on Wednesday night.

Potter has only had a few days to get used to his new position as Chelsea’s manager, and he will be in charge for the first time tonight when Chelsea hosts Red Bull Salzburg in a Champions League group stage encounter.
