If Liverpool persist with the box midfield we’ve seen over recent weeks, Mount would be deployed as one of the two behind the strikers. It suits his skill set and would make the most of his high energy and work rate. Refreshed and reinvigorated, Rashford is one of the most in-form players in Europe this season and currently has 14 goals and three assists. The point is, it is naive to write off players before they have even entered their peak years.

Klopp loved Adam Lallana and Mount has similar qualities to the former Southampton man. That could be a match made in heaven for the manager and the player. He is being judged on his performances this season instead of what he’s done throughout his Chelsea career. The Chelsea midfielder is heading into the final 12 months of his contract at Stamford Bridge and the latest reports suggest an agreement between the player and the club isn’t close. Mount only turned 24 in January. A year ago he was viewed as one of the best in the Premier League in his role. He could be in that category again in 12 months time. Perhaps a change of scenery is all he needs. Maybe he just needs to have a set role to really thrive now having spent his formative years as a bit of a utility man. A move to Liverpool makes a lot of senseIf you include his exploits for England this season, he’s currently on 2,600 minutes and there are still 11 Premier League matches to play, plus the Blues are still in Europe. The potential is there for yet another 3,500-minute campaign.

What is interesting is that Mount recently signed with ROOF agency and they currently look after a number of players including Virgil Van Dijk, Jordan Henderson and Harvey Elliott. If reports are true and the Reds have been priced out of a move for Bellingham, then pivoting to Mount makes a lot of sense. The Cobham graduate involved himself in goals and assists for both Frank Lampard and Thomas Tuchel from a variety of roles in a number of different systems.

In his debut season in the first team, the versatile midfielder scored seven goals and assisted a further five. He followed that up with six goals and five assists in the Premier League the following year. During the 2021/22 campaign, he joined an exclusive group of players to do the double-double when he finished with 11 goals and chipped in with an impressive 10 assists.

Liverpool could well be the perfect environment for him. They have done similar in the past, taking Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain and turning him into a central midfielder having signed him as a winger. He excelled in the middle third until a serious injury stalled his career at Anfield. Couple that with the fact his name isn’t Jude Bellingham and it becomes a little easier to understand exactly why he’s not at the top of everyone’s summer shortlist.This doesn’t mean his career is now on a downward trajectory. People wanted to write Marcus Rashford off last season after he posted the worst numbers of his Manchester United career, netting just four times and assisting twice. In his previous four campaigns as a Red Devil, he’d involved himself in a minimum of 12 Premier League goals. Usually, there would be a scramble for such a player. However, the 36-cap international is having something of a down year.
