MATA: "Arsenal and Spurs interested. Do not compare with Chelsea".

Juan Mata hasn't even officially signed for Chelsea until later today but he has already endeared himself to Chelsea fans all over the world. Featured in The SUN this morning, Mata has revealed that Chelsea wasn't the only Premier League club interested in him this summer but for him. He said:

"I want to come to England to win trophies - and that's why I accepted Chelsea's offer.

It was also a question of sporting achievement, not money. Arsenal and Tottenham were both interested in me but they did not compare with the Blues.

I want the Premier League title and this is possible at Chelsea.

Fernando Torres helped influence my decision but speaking directly with Villas-Boas was the decisive factor.

He explained how his style will be based on 4-3-3 and how important I will be to his plans."

I am really excited about this guy. Just watching him play and seeing what he is about is defiantly something that all of us should look forward to seeing in a Chelsea shirt.

He explains in another interview featured in The Guardian, that he is not your out and out winger stuck out wide and expected to stay there. He said:

"I am not an old-style winger stuck right out on the wing and limited to running at people and getting crosses in. I like to drop inside and get between the lines. I tend not to try to take people one on one; I believe in movement, interchange and being vertical [incisive]."

So could he be someone we went after instead of Luka Modric, or is Mata the missing link down Chelsea's right hand side?.

One thing is for sure, the fact he has said what he has said about Arsenal and Spurs shows that despite everything, it comes down to being successful and winning things. Yes you lot from North London may come on here and have a pop at Chelsea because of the amount of money we have spent over the years, but I ask to you the following questions:

Arsenal fans, are you not calling out for Arsene Wenger to invest heavily in your squad so that you are capable of making a challenge for the title and to try and get back ahead of City?

Spurs fans, if someone came in to buy your club and invest masses amounts of money so you never had to sell your best players, and could take you to the next level to keep up with City, would you say no?

Make sure Chelsea fans, you check out the Mata post I wrote yesterday and also the video I posted last week to see just what we have brought to the club.

It's exciting times once again at Chelsea and if AVB can get things right this year with maybe one more big name signing, it could be yet ANOTHER successful season at The Bridge!.
