Frank Lampard has been appointed as the interim manager at Chelsea and he has piled the praise on Liverpool target Mason Mount.

It has been widely reported that the attacking midfielder is a player that Liverpool want. This season, Mount has been in and out of the Chelsea team. This has been due to injury and also the preference of the manager.

Now that Lampard is back in charge for a short period, many have been wondering whether Mount will get straight back into the starting XI.

If Lampard was to do well, he could rejuvenate Mount. The player also has a contract which expires in the summer of 2024.
