Mason Mount gets angry with Timo Werner in Fa cup defeat, as Marina keen to sign £51million Leicester City midfielder with 11 goals
Why Mount was angry with Werner
It was not Timo Werner or Mason Mount’s day at Wembley as Chelsea were beaten by Leicester. Mount was denied by a super stop from Kasper Schmeichel in the second half, while Werner’s decision-making all game was very poor.
One such moment arrived in the second half with Chelsea behind and chasing the game. They had livened up after Tielemans’ wonder goal and countered, having a man advantage as well as Leicester had committed too many players forward before N’Golo Kante nicked the ball back.
Werner, whose pace was a constant threat throughout the game but he just didn’t utilise it in the right way.
He ran at the Foxes defence and had Mount on his inside. Werner passed the ball outside instead and Mount was nowhere near in the right spot. Mount looked at Werner with his arms held out, exasperated and said “Timo!” with a look of a player who knew it was not going to be his day.
Mount has looked incredibly weary the past two games after a very busy season where he has barely missed a game. It might be time for the young England star to be given a break despite the enormity of the games that are coming up for Chelsea.
Chelsea keen on signing £51million Leicester City midfielder with 11 goals.
According to Daily Express, Chelsea are interested in a summer move for Leicester City playmaker James Maddison.
The 24-year-old, who is also said to be on Manchester City’s radar, has established himself as a key cog in the machine for the Foxes since joining the club from Norwich City in 2018.
This season alone, Maddison has chipped in with 11 goals and 6 assists in all competitions, helping Leicester to push for a top four finish and win the FA Cup.
He is under contract at Leicester until the summer of 2024 and the Foxes have slapped a £51million price tag on their man.
