      The Blues opened talks in September hoping to conclude things swiftly.
      But according to the Mail, Chelsea and Mount remain a long way apart in their valuations.
      The 23-year-old’s fellow Cobham academy graduate Reece James agreed a new deal worth £250,000 a week earlier this season.
      But Mount, who currently earns £85,000 a week, wants parity with Three Lions team-mate Raheem Sterling.

      The winger, 27, moved to Stamford Bridge last summer on a deal reportedly worth £300,000 a week.
      Having established himself as a key man in West London and the club’s Player of the Year for the last two seasons running, Mount feels he deserves to be among their top earners.
      And a successful World Cup could also help to raise his stock.
      Mount was in great form as he helped England thrash Iran 6-2 on Monday, although endured a less successful evening during the 0-0 draw with the USA.

      Amid Mount’s contract uncertainty, Liverpool and Juventus are reportedly interested.
      Earlier this week, the Three Lions star enjoyed a heartwarming moment off the pitch – meeting his three-year-old niece Poppy for the first time.
      The England star’s sister Stacey lives in Australia, a country that has been under strict Covid restrictions for much of the last few years.
      Mount was reunited with Stacey after Monday’s victory over Iran.
      After the thumping win, manager Gareth Southgate allowed his players to mingle with their loved ones in the stands.
      It was then that a beaming Mount was able to see his sibling and meet his little niece Poppy.
      And Mount grinned from ear-to-ear as he was finally able to give Poppy a hug.

      The Blues went on a nine-game unbeaten run, winning six of those fixtures.
      However, things have gone flat at Stamford Bridge in recent weeks, with Chelsea losing four of their last five fixtures, including a humiliating 4-1 defeat to Potter’s old team, Brighton.
      And Potter’s men have failed to score in their last three league fixtures against Newcastle, Manchester City and Arsenal.
      The poor form could see Chelsea dip into the transfer market in January.

      But they could save themselves millions in attacking reinforcements by activating academy product Callum Hudson-Odoi’s – on loan at Bayer Leverkusen – recall option, according to Kicker.
      Hudson-Odoi, 22, joined the German side on loan in the summer, hoping to kick-start his career.
      The English winger has made nine appearances for Leverkusen this term.
      However, he has only managed to find the net once, while also failing to register an assist.

      In those games, he has managed 16 goals and 22 assists. More

      Chelsea star Hakim Ziyech REFUSES to rule out January transfer exit after tough stint at Stamford Bridge

      by

      HAKIM ZIYECH isn’t ruling out a move away from Chelsea in January after the attacking midfielder’s game time has dried up in the capital.The Morocco international made his move to The Blues back in 2020 for a fee of £33.6 million.

      He has had a frustrating time at Stamford Bridge since making the move from Ajax and has only played 90 minutes once so far this season.
      The former FC Twente man has managed 14 goals and 10 assists in all competitions for Chelsea, but his game time would suggest he isn’t part of Graham Potter’s plans.

      Ziyech has been heavily linked with a move to AC Milan with both Tottenham and Manchester United rumoured to be interested too.
      The 29-year-old has also been linked with a move back to Ajax and was hesitant to rule anything out when asked about returning to the Eredivise in January by NOS.

      He said: “It’s hard to say, difficult to say. We don’t know what will happen in winter. It’s football, so it’s difficult to say.”
      Ziyech is currently at the World Cup with Morocco and it’s unlikely anything will be decided before the end of the tournament.
      The star came out of international retirement to feature in Qatar after being recalled by Morocco boss Walid Regragui.

      He has since played just 131 minutes in all competitions, however, with Barca now eager to take whatever money they can for him in January.
      The Catalan giants are reportedly unhappy with how he handled a hamstring injury sustained in September.
      According to Spanish paper AS, Barcelona expected the issue to keep Depay sidelined for only four weeks.
      They add that Barca were fuming that six weeks later Depay remained “on leave” – asking to head back to Holland early ahead of the World Cup.

      Depay’s injury woes have reportedly strengthened Barcelona’s desire to sell him – with a bid of just £4million claimed to be enough to secure his signature after the tournament.
      Chelsea have been linked with the former Manchester United attacker, as they aim to add firepower to Graham Potter’s attack.
      A switch would see Depay reunited with former Barcelona team-mate Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang – who made the same switch in August.
      Despite his injury troubles, Depay was named in Louis van Gaal’s 26-man Netherlands squad for the World Cup.

      He was only deemed fit enough for the bench for his side’s opener, coming on with 28 minutes remaining in their 2-0 victory over Senegal on Monday.
      In Depay’s absence, Vincent Janssen and Steven Bergwijn started up top for the Dutch.
      Barca are hoping that a strong World Cup showing could help Depay regain some market value.
      His only goal this season came in a 3-0 victory over Elche back in September.
      Chelsea are desperate to improve offensively – sitting eighth in the Prem table having scored just 17 goals in 14 games – the lowest tally in the league’s top ten.
      Addressing his future on the eve of the tournament, Depay said: “I don’t know what will happen after the World Cup. The injury has been hard, but I’m already recovered and I’m enjoying the World Cup.

      “We have a good team that can prove things. I don’t want to think about the past, I’m focused on the World Cup. I also don’t want to think beyond this competition. I don’t know what will happen after the World Cup.
      “I’m very happy to play again, very happy. It took me a long time to come back. It hasn’t been easy mentally, but I’ve worked hard to get there.” More

      Mount, 23, has been one of Chelsea’s key players since breaking into the side three years ago.

      And Mount is now a regular for his country, playing a key role in Monday’s 6-2 World Cup win over Iran.

      That’s because Rice and Bellingham would reportedly command that salary should they move to west London.
