Former Chelsea captain John Terry has hinted that there is more to Mason Mount's departure from Chelsea than meets the eye.
Terry said that there are "two sides to the story" and that he knows the other side, but he is not going to share it at this time. He also asked Chelsea fans to be lenient on Mount when he returns to Stamford Bridge.
Mount left Chelsea in the summer for Manchester United after failing to agree a new contract with the club. He was widely criticized by Chelsea fans for a farewell video that he posted on social media, which appeared to have been filmed several weeks before he actually left.
It is not clear what Terry is referring to when he says that there is "another side to the story". However, it is possible that he knows something about Mount's negotiations with Chelsea that the public does not. It is also possible that he knows something about Mount's reasons for leaving Chelsea.
Only time will tell what Terry is referring to. However, his comments have certainly added fuel to the fire of speculation about Mount's departure from Chelsea.
