Former Chelsea star Oscar has revealed his advice for Mason Mount as Manchester United, Arsenal and Liverpool plot moves for the England midfielder.

Mount’s lengthy stay at Stamford Bridge could be coming to an end as several Premier League clubs battle for his signature ahead of the summer transfer window.

The 24-year-old has been at Chelsea for almost two decades – first as an academy player and, for the last four seasons, as a key member of the first-team squad, making 195 appearances in all competitions.

Several Chelsea managers have relied heavily on Mount but his future in west London is far from certain with a little over 12 months remaining on his current contract.

There remains the possibility that Mount commits his long-term future to Chelsea and decides to stay under incoming manager Mauricio Pochettino, but he is not short of suitors if he opts for a summer move.

It has been reported this week that Manchester United are preparing a £55m offer for the midfielder as they look to beat Arsenal and Liverpool to a deal.

Asked about Mount’s future at Stamford Bridge, ex-Chelsea man Oscar told talkSPORT: ‘I think when you have a difficult season, not only for Mount but for the team, it’s hard to talk about the players.

‘When you have a difficult season, a lot of people think that the players don’t deserve to stay in the team anymore.

‘But I think Chelsea have a lot of good young players. Sometimes it’s better to keep these players and see if the coach wants these players for the team. Maybe he [Mount] can come back to play at the level that he can play at.

‘Of course, he wants to play and he wants to play more. I think if he’s not happy at Chelsea, sometimes it’s better to find another team. If he’s still happy and if he wants to try and be a great player at Chelsea, he needs to stay.’
