Journalist Dean Jones claims that Manchester United is “one step away” from declaring Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount as their first summer signing.
What is Mason Mount’s most recent transfer-related news?
Before joining Manchester United in a deal estimated to be valued over £60 million, Mount is getting a physical, according to Sky Sports News.
While the Red Devils have had three offers for Mount rejected, the £80k-per-week star now appears to be moving to Old Trafford in a high-profile summer signing for Erik Ten Hag’s team. Mount is currently playing for Stamford Bridge, where he earns his salary.
Mason Mount’s medical has been completed in preparation for joining Manchester United, according to renowned journalist Fabrizio Romano.
The Manchester Evening News reports that once Mount completes his transfer to the Premier League giants, Fred, a midfielder for Manchester United, could be shooed out the exit door at Old Trafford because Fulham are reportedly interested in his services.
This summer, there have also been rumours that Donny van de Beek and Scott McTominay would leave Manchester United, but it’s doubtful that Manchester United could afford to sign any more midfielders besides Mount.
As Manchester United gets ready to formally acquire Mount from Chelsea, journalist Jones explained the situation to GIVEMESPORT.
Jones said: “An announcement is ready, and he will shortly be receiving the ‘Here We Go’ treatment. A player with experience at every level on the elite stage and who is still only 24 years old, this is a very solid signing.
“He will definitely flourish as an 8 on this United squad. As far as I know, Erik ten Hag is eager to collaborate with him.
Can Manchester United count on Mason Mount to be a positive addition?
The transfer to Manchester United under Ten Hag may be the best one for Mount, a hard-working, admirable person who may have been a victim of circumstances at Chelsea. The Dutch manager will have specific intentions to assist Mount regain the consistency of his previous career at the Blues.
The international player for England has played 195 times for Chelsea, according to Transfermarkt, tallying 33 goals and 37 assists overall.
With 1.3 critical passes per game in the Premier League last season, according to WhoScored, Mount demonstrated his abilities as a creative force in midfield.
Despite a lacklustre period overall at Stamford Bridge, Mount managed to create 83 effective shots during the previous season, according to FBRef. This demonstrates some of Mount’s potential.
If properly managed, Mount may be a valuable asset for Manchester United and build a dynamic midfield partnership with players like Bruno Fernandes and Casemiro.
