TOTTENHAM fans have mocked reports of their club being interested in Chelsea star Mason Mount.
Mount, 24, is no closer to agreeing a new deal to commit his long-term future to the Blues.
His contract at Stamford Bridge is set to expire in 2024.
And he has been linked with a host of Europe’s top clubs including Bayern Munich, Liverpool, Arsenal and Manchester United.
But according to The Athletic, Tottenham are the latest team to emerge as an interested party.
Spurs are understood to have been monitoring the England man since last summer.

But Lilywhites supporters do not believe Mount – who has 36 international caps – would consider a move across the city to Chelsea’s London rivals.
Reacting on social media, one person said: “As if he’d come here 😂.”
Another replied: “Like that is ever going to happen.”
A third simply responded: “Complete non-starter.”

And a fourth pointed out: “Can get [James] Maddison for less money and wages.”
Mount, a product of Chelsea’s academy system, has contributed 33 goals and 37 assists in 192 games for the club.
But just nine goal contributions in 32 matches this season have called into question his importance to the Blues moving forward.
Bayern are emerging as an option for the Englishman, particularly after hiring Thomas Tuchel as their head coach – a manager Mount thrived under and won the Champions League with in West London.
And it could work out for the German champions as Chelsea may well prefer to sell him to a foreign club rather than an English rival.
But a Premier League move is also a possibility, with Liverpool thought to be leading the race among the domestic clubs.
Jurgen Klopp is keen to re-energise his midfield in the summer as Jordan Henderson and Thiago move deeper into their 30s.
