Mason Mount has praised Chelsea fans for their support over this past season as he heads for a 'break' over the summer. Having missed the end of Chelsea's season with a pelvic injury, there is a real possibility that Mount may have played his last Game for the Blues as he approaches a summer transfer window in which he could be sold. Mount will enter the final year of his contract and has been warned he will be sold this summer if he does not agree an extension. All offers thus far have failed to tempt the midfielder but talks have not yet been ended, with incoming manager Mauricio Pochettino known to be keen to keep hold of Mount.

Mount later took to Instagram to send a message to Chelsea fans after what has undoubtedly been a challenging campaign. Read the la...

Leeds United's relegation from the Premier League was confirmed as Tottenham earned a comfortable 4-1 win at Elland Road. Goals at the start of both halves from Harry Kane and Pedro Porro ruined United's slim chances of staying up and while they eventually pulled one back with 23 minutes remaining through Jack Harrison, Kane's second and his 30th in the league denied Sam Allardyce's side the win needed to keep them in England's top division. Lucas Moura came on late in the piece and netted a fabulous solo effort to put the finishing touches on the victory, though it wasn't enough to lift Tottenham into the Europa Conference League spots as Aston Villa beat Brighton to finish seventh. United couldn't had made a poorer start as they started their ambitious attempt to beat the drop. Pascal Struijk misjudged the ball, allowing Porro to come inside. Son Heung-min shuffled it across to Kane, who swept in just 92 seconds into the contest, giving home manager Sam A...
