Here is a roundup of the top Chelsea news and gossip from icfootballnews that we think you guys may have missed today –

Graham Potter has opened up and admitted that he has told Mason Mount that he is part of the plans at CHELSEA.

Mount has been a massive player for Chelsea over the past few bosses and has been constantly made the clubs player of the season – but this year he has barefly featured for Graham Potter.

He has not been as effective – he has not been able to make the impact that Potter would have liked and has found himself on the bench more often than not – and with his contract running down – there has been alot of speculation regarding his future.

Chelsea simply do not want to pay the midfielder the kind of wages that he is reportedly demanding – and that has led to alot of speculation in the media that he is a player that Jurgen Klopp would like to sign at the end of the season.

In an interview with Football.London – Potter has revealed that he has told Mount that he would like him to stay at Stamford Bridge – he said: “Ultimately it is between the club and Mason. I have spoken to him numerous times about his situation, football and life generally. My feelings for Mason are clear.

“He is a fantastic person firstly but sometimes these things happen. They are just complicated and it is best that I speak little about it, let them get on with it in deciding what is right for both parties.”

He was then asked if he has told Mount he if he wants him to stay – he added:  “Yes, but I am not naive. I know it is an important time for him and an important contract. These things have to be right for him and his family. It’s important he makes a decision on that basis.”

We can see why CHELSEA do not want to pay Mount the kind of wages that he reportedly wants – he hasn’t deserved it from his performances this season.

It will be interesting to see how this all plays out – as he is a player that brings alot to the side when he is on top of his game.

Boehly told to sign striker –

Florent Malouda has encouraged CHELSEA to try and sign PSG star Kylian Mbappe at the end of the season.

Mbappe is easily one of the most dangerous players in the world right now and a man that will eventually become the best player in the game – especially with Neymar, Cristiano Ronaldo and Lionel Messi right at the back-end of their careers.

But despite the fact he has a massive contract at PSG – Their latest failings in the Champions League has led to more speculation that he could leave the French giants at the end of the season and test himself in the Premier League or La Liga.

Now – amid all that speculation and rumours – Malouda has opened up and suggested that Chelsea should make a move for the attacker – claiming he could be the statement signing they are looking to sign.

He told DAZN Bet: “I’d like to see Chelsea sign Kylian Mbappe, I think we should go for top players like Mbappe. Especially when I see the amount we spend on others. It depends on his will to come to the club, but we should go for top players like him and build a team around him.

‘That would be my dream, to build a team around him with young players around him. 

“He’s won a lot of trophies and he’s hungry for more, so this is the type of player Chelsea should look for. 

“Would Mbappe be tempted by CHELSEA? Anything is possible! To tempt a player like Mbappe, it’s about building a relationship. It’s about more than just preparing a big-money offer.

‘Players are sensitive and they know a lot about football, so clubs need to develop relationships with football and if you do that, I think you can get players like Mbappe.”

Kane move?

CHELSEA have been told to try to sign attacking star Harry Kane from Tottenham in the summer window

After weeks of speculation and rumours – Chelsea managed to complete a loan deal for the talented Joao Felix that would see the talented attacker stay at the club until the end of the season.

The Blues have an option to make that loan switch more permanent – although the Spaniards wants close to £120 million – but there is a feeling that Chelsea need to make sure that they sign a striker that could bang in at least 30 goals a season.

Christopher Nkunku from RB Leipzig is expected to arrive after a fee was agreed earlier this season between the clubs. Despite the attacking changes, Chelsea are looking to bolster the forward line even more and former Blues winger Florent Malouda has told the club to sign Harry Kane.

He told DAZN Bet: ‘Chelsea should definitely join the race for Harry Kane. Kane is a world-class player who knows the Premier League, and it is an era where Chelsea need a striker with his goalscoring record and the ambition to win trophies. If Kane ever leaves Tottenham, it will be because of the lack of trophies.

‘Kane would be a great signing, but I’d be surprised if he left Tottenham for Chelsea because of the rivalry. It’s not like leaving Tottenham for Arsenal, but to leave Tottenham for Chelsea, I’d be surprised but anything is possible.

“He’s a great option for any club in the Premier League, and for Chelsea he’d be a great pick.”

This is surely the last season that Tottenham fans will see Kane in that Shirt – it is about time that he leaves the club to win some silverware.

But we are not sure that he will go to CHELSEA, as a move to Bayern Munich or Man United may be the better option for him – especially as he is a loyal Spurs man.
