As the Premier League campaign approaches, Tottenham Hotspur have reportedly been contacted by the rival midfielder's representatives regarding a potential deal this summer.
Tottenham transfer news
After a mixed first season that ultimately failed to qualify for the Champions League, Ange Postecoglou and Spurs have endured a slow summer transfer window so far, welcoming just two new faces. The standout of the arrivals has undoubtedly been Archie Gray, who completed a move from Leeds United to join Lucas Bergvall who has already arrived.

He has been in good form for years.
The 18-year-old enjoyed a fantastic season in the Championship last season to emerge as one of the best young talents English football has to offer. By getting the move he deserved because of this, it was Spurs who jumped in to win the race for his much-anticipated signature earlier this summer. The right-back midfielder made his first appearance for Spurs as they thrashed Hearts 5-1 in their first pre-season friendly.
Now likely to turn to more experienced options, the Lilywhites have reportedly been offered the chance to sign a Premier League rival. According to HITC's Graeme Bailey, Mason Mount's representatives have made contact with Spurs over a potential deal this summer, with Manchester United now reportedly open to selling the midfielder one year after his £60m arrival.
A Chelsea academy graduate, Mount's move to North London could steal plenty of headlines but it remains to be seen whether Spurs will be willing to secure his signature and pay his reported £250,000-a-week wages. Nevertheless, there is no doubt that it will be one of the most interesting of the summer and may revive the work of the Mount.
The “Good” Mount will suit Ange perfectly
Although things are still looking good under Erik ten Hag, Mount could stand a better chance of recapturing his best form under Postecoglou. Australia's high-powered system would be a perfect fit for the former Chelsea man, who could be given license to press higher and finally find his creative intuition again, perhaps alongside James Maddison.
Even after a period of forgetfulness at Manchester United, it is important to note that Mount still has many fans in European football, Kylian Mbappe once said to The Metro when asked who he would like to see the French football interview: “Gigi because I would like to know what he will do next, Messi, because he doesn't talk much, so we would discover things. Mason Mount, because he is a great player who we don't know much about.”
It's definitely company and highly recommended for a player who desperately needs to find his form, whether it's at Manchester United or by completing a move to Spurs this summer. With just over a month to go until the transfer window closes, Mount is one to watch.
