THE BIGGER PICTURE: His exploits at Craven Cottage have impressed west London neighbours at Stamford Bridge, with Chelsea bracing themselves for the possible summer departure of England international Mount – with the 24-year-old yet to sign a contract extension amid links to Liverpool and Manchester United.

AND WHAT'S MORE: ESPN claims that Pereira is registering on Chelsea’s radar, but that La Liga giants Atletico Madrid are also keen and that PSG view the talented 27-year-old as a potentially cost-effective addition to their star-studded ranks at Parc des Princes.

WHAT NEXT? Pereira has registered three goals and six assists for Fulham this season and is said to be valued at between £25 million ($31m) and £35m ($43m) – with the £15m ($18m) relegation release clause that exists in his contract unlikely to come into effect this season as the Cottagers sit ninth in the Premier League table.
