Chelsea bid to sign Fulham star as replacement for Mount described as lunacy

Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount has been tipped to leave the club this summer and the Blues are already on the lookout for replacements.

While Fulham’s Andreas Pereira has been linked to Chelsea, journalist Paul Brown, in a statement via GIVEMESPORT, however, described the moves as lunacy.

A report via ESPN recently claimed that the Blues were eyeing a move for Fulham midfielder Pereira as a potential replacement for Mount. Fulham reportedly values Pereira at around £35m.

Brown in a statement suggested that Chelsea signing Pereira as a Mount’s replacement wouldn’t make too much sense, with the latter considerably better than the former.

Speaking to GIVEMESPORT, he said: “I think you’d have to be a total lunatic to believe that Pereira is in anywhere near the class of Mount. He’s a good player, but he just doesn’t have the talent or potential that Mount does.”
