Chelsea have began formal contract negotiations with Mason Mount regarding a new deal.
The attacking midfielder is a huge part of manager Graham Potter's project moving forward.
Per the Evening Standard, the club are hoping to tie down Mount in the near future.
The 23-year-old England midfielder is happy at Chelsea, while they will make him an offer to match the highest earners in the team.
There is a possibility the deal could be signed before the World Cup, but negotiations may run into December or January.
New Chelsea owners Todd Boehly and Clearlake have been working to tie down their best players, with Reece James recently extending on a six-year deal.
