Chelsea owner Todd Boehly has been urged to accept a £70million offer for Mason Mount in the summer because he ‘hasn’t been the same’ since Thomas Tuchel left the club.

“Mason Mount would be brilliant at Bayern – Chelsea should accept £70m for him,” former Chelsea right-back Glen Johnson told DAZN.

“I actually think he would be brilliant at Bayern and you could understand why Tuchel wants him because he got him playing his best football for sure. Everything that went well at Chelsea whilst Tuchel was there, Mason Mount was right at the heart of it.

“He hasn’t had that same impact since, so you could understand why they would want to do business together again and link back up. I think he is more than good enough to play at that level, I really like him. At the moment, Chelsea should take £70m because he hasn’t been the same Mason Mount and Chelsea may need to take the money after all their signings.

“It also depends on who the next manager is because he may be able to bounce back if there is a top manager like Tuchel, who wants to bring in other top players to play alongside him. On the other hand, you could totally understand why interest from a club like Bayern and a manager like Tuchel would make his head turn – that was when he was playing his best.”
