EPL: Ten Hag approves £55m bid to sign Chelsea midfielder ahead of Arsenal

Manchester United are preparing to submit a £55 million offer for Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount.

Mount, who missed the final weeks of this season through injury, is a primary target for United boss, Erik ten Hag.

According to SportsMail, Ten Hag wants a deal for the England international wrapped up quickly.

Mount is entering the final year of his contract with Chelsea and is yet to agree fresh terms at Stamford Bridge.

United want to pay around £55m for Mount, a fee that falls way below Chelsea’s £85m valuation.

Arsenal and Liverpool are believed to be also keen on a player Chelsea might be forced to sell this summer so he doesn’t leave as a free agent.
