Ex-Reds midfielder Danny Murphy believes Liverpool would be ‘desperate’ to sign Mason Mount from Chelsea in this summer’s transfer window.
The Chelsea playmaker Mount has been heavily linked with a move to Anfield with the player considering calling it quits at Stamford Bridge after talks over a new deal hit a roadblock.
Chelsea have been reluctant to cede to Mount’s demands of a major hike in wages and should the latter head out the exit door, former Liverpool man Murphy reckons his old club would be keen to snap up the highly rated England international.
“I’d definitely want to keep him because I know what I’m getting.
“I am getting 100 per cent commitment from a player who loves the club. Who’s got great technical ability, and who can play in multiple positions.
“I think he is a super talent and a really good character. I’m on board with him. I love everything about him.
“I would be desperately trying to get him at my club if I was Liverpool.
“They will all be in for him. They will all try and get him. Newcastle, Liverpool, United will go in for him.
“It wouldn’t surprise me if Arsenal were in for him. Why wouldn’t you want him?”
The Blues are keen to retain Mount’s services beyond the summer but could be forced to cash in to avoid losing the 24-year-old next summer for nothing if Mount heads into free agency.
Mount has than 18 months left on his current terms at the Bridge and could leave the club in the summer to seek a fresh challenge with other clubs vying for his signature.
