Chelsea midfielder Mason Mount has made his and the club's objectives clear following the club's takeover. He has stated that the Blues will be gunning for the Premier League title next season. The Londoners will finally be under new ownership after the consortium led by U.S.

billionaire Todd Boehly reached a definitive agreement to complete its £4.25 billion takeover from Roman Abramovich. The Russian oligarch put the West London club up for sale three months ago following the UK Government sanctioning him due to close ties with Russian president Vladimir Putin.

Chelsea have had to go through uncertain times this season which took a toll on the club's performance on the pitch. However, Mason Mount has shared his optimism regarding the club's future under the new owners.

Mount has insisted that Chelsea were in the title race for a considerable period this season but their form dipped midway through the campaign.

 The England international has claimed that the Blues will be keen to compete for the title next season. He told Sky Sports F1 while talking at the Monaco Grand Prix qualifying, as quoted by The Evening Standard:

“We were obviously in and around [the title race] until about midway through. Disappointing that we fell off a bit but that’s obviously the goal for next season, we want to close that gap. We want to be up there."

“I t’s an exciting time now with the owners being confirmed today, going forward it’s going to be exciting and obviously the era under Roman has been brilliant. We look forward now and it’s exciting stuff, can’t wait to get back to it.”
