Frank Lampard has been urged to make signing Manchester United star Mason Mount a reality this summer.
Coventry City are gearing up for their first Premier League season since 2001 and have so far signed Frank Onyeka, Loum Tchaouna and Aurele Amenda to bolster their squad.
Sky Blues icon Gary McAllister proposed that the potential acquisition of Mount is a realistic one because of his relationship with Lampard and the opportunity it'll give the midfielder to play regular football.
The 27-year-old was given his Chelsea debut by Lampard in 2019 and had previously worked with the Coventry boss during his loan spell at Derby County. Since joining Manchester United in 2022, Mount's career has been derailed by injuries and a lack of consistency, as he started just 12 league games last season.
Speaking to Lottoland, McAllister explained: "This one could happen! Mason Mount’s not playing football, and he got on really well with Frank. You know, as a player, Mason Mount has been at two massive clubs.

"Financially, he’s probably sorted, so he’s not necessarily playing for money. Getting minutes and playing Premier League football on loan, I know it sounds massively extreme, but it’s doable because I think there’s a lot of respect between the pair."
It's not just Mount that could look to relocate to Coventry because of Lampard, with several of his former Chelsea team-mates also named. The former Scotland international suggested: "I think [Ruben] Loftus-Cheek has been mentioned as well.
"[Fikayo] Tomori has also been linked. I think Frank will be using all these connections. You know, the association he had with Everton as well, he could probably use that. I’ve seen Ben Chilwell mentioned as well.

"I think they mentioned that left-back might be a place where they need to strengthen. Again, there’s a Chelsea connection and a strong one to Frank there. I think they’re going to try to do everything to get the best players they can get into that building to survive."
Coventry face the ultimate test upon their return to top-flight action on August 21 when they kick off their season away to champions Arsenal. Their first match at home will come eight days later as they host fellow newly-promoted side Hull City at the Coventry Building Society Arena.
