Former Chelsea star Tony Cascarino has warned Mason Mount against joining Liverpool in the summer and believes he would be better suited to signing for Newcastle.

“Well, he’ll have interest from clubs without a doubt, he’s played a very high level of football for a number of years. He’s not as good at the moment, but that won’t stop interest,” Cascarino told talkSPORT.

“It comes down to Mason and if he really just wants to stay at Chelsea and sit on money and find himself in and out of a team, because that’s where he is at the moment. Does that sit well with him? Probably not.

“He’ll want to be in the frame for England and he’s not an England regular if he’s sitting out of the Chelsea team.

“I’m not quite sure where he’s going to play at Liverpool. Is he going to play at the top of a three behind the centre forward whether that’s [Darwin] Nunez this season?

“He’s not going to play on the right because that’s for [Mohamed] Salah, [Luis] Diaz will come back and he’s on the left.

“He’s a central attacking midfielder. Now Liverpool did have [Alex] Oxlade-Chamberlain to fill that role and that’s not really happened. So Liverpool will be filling that void that the Ox didn’t really achieve.

“He’s had bad injuries and I feel sorry for him because he did have a number of seriously big injuries. But that’s the only way I can see [Mount] fitting.”

He continued: “Mason Mount will have more than Liverpool chasing him, there will be a number of clubs chasing him in Europe and in this country.

“If you were Newcastle, would you want to get a player like him? If you want to become more of a Champions League team, I think Mason Mount would fit really well into the way Newcastle play.

“At the end of the season I think Newcastle could get Wilf[Zaha] on the left and Mount if they really wanted to.”
