Mount puts country before club as he seeks to play a leading role

The 23-year-old midfielder is heading into the final 18 months of his contract at Chelsea and talks over a new deal have been put on hold until after the tournament in Qatar.

Liverpool and Juventus are keeping track of his situation, with no sign of a breakthrough in negotiations between him and Chelsea.

Mount, however, insists he is only focused on the World Cup, as he battles to force his way into the starting XI for Monday’s Group B clash against Iran.

Mount began five of England’s seven matches at Euro 2020 but is not guaranteed to start in Qatar.
