‘I am sure that he is demanding what he deserves and we are sure that Chelsea will eventually give him what he wants
‘So even though there are also those rumours that Chelsea are already looking for alternative players to fill the void of Mount if he does leave the club – it is not really true and Chelsea dont want to lose the player
