“What I'll say about Mason is, all the things I spoke about there, you talk about modern players and how the game's changed, he is a throwback to the attitude and the commitment and the quality... that was the beauty of working with Mason. He gave you so much in terms of his effort every day.

Vlahovic to Chelsea would be a risk and a deviation from the Boehly-Clearlake strategy
Vlahovic has been linked to Chelsea, but should the Premier League club be chasing the Juventus frontman?
