Manchester City and Newcastle United have reportedly abandoned their pursuit of Mason Mount.
According to Football Insider, the Premier League duo are no longer interested in the Chelsea star, who is expected to part ways with the West London club this summer.
Sources claim that the England international's future at Stamford Bridge is up in the air as the talented midfielder has been unable to reach an agreement on a renewal.
With the player's current deal set to expire soon, Chelsea's owner, Todd Boehly, may be faced with a tough decision about negotiating the 24-year-old's transfer as it would be a significant blow for the Blues to lose one of their key players for nothing.
Therefore, Arsenal and Liverpool are currently the top two candidates to battle for the English ace's signature ahead of the summer transfer window.
