Premier League rivals Liverpool have been urged to sign Chelsea star Mason Mount.

According to Liverpool legend John Barnes, Mount would be a good option to bolster Liverpool’s midfield this summer.

The 24-year-old has 18 months to go on his current contract and is yet to agree a new deal with Chelsea.

When asked if Mount would be a good option for Liverpool, Barnes told the ECHO: “Absolutely. He can play any of the front three positions or the midfield positions. He’s got a great attitude, he’s young, he’s English, he understands, he works really hard.

“But alongside Bellingham, (Declan) Rice – players like that – most of the players that we would want to come in to improve us now won’t be available in January.”
