Mason Mount has confirmed he spoke to Raheem Sterling regarding a move to Chelsea. The Blues star claims he wanted to play with the former Manchester City star and convinced him.
Chelsea signed Sterling earlier this month for a reported £50 million deal from Manchester City. The 27-year-old claimed he was joining the club to take them back to the top after penning a five-year deal.
Mount spoke to the media regarding the first transfer made by the men's team under the new ownership and revealed his hand in the deal. The midfielder admitted talking to Sterling regarding a move and was quoted by the Daily Mail saying:
"I spoke to him a little bit when we were away on international duty. He didn't have a clue what was going on. He just said there was interest there and I was obviously saying: 'We'd love to have you at the club.'"
"I know what he is like as a person as a player. I've played with him for the last couple of years with England and he's a top, top guy with a lot left to go and a lot more winning to do, so it's brilliant to have him."
