Juan Mata completes Chelsea move

25 August 2011 - 00:47

Chelsea have completed the signing of Spanish midfielder Juan Mata, in a deal worth approximately 23.5m GBP to Valencia. Mata has put pen to paper on a five year contract at Stamford Bridge.

  • Chelsea to move for former Arsenal goalkeeper?
  • Former Chelsea boss to replace Erik ten Hag at Man Utd?

  • Mata had been linked with several Premier League clubs this year, but has decided that Chelsea would be the best place to continue his football development.



    "Valencia was a big club anyway but I have left to join a bigger club. It is all about the opportunity to win trophies and I have that here," said Mata.



    "I want to adapt as quickly as possible to my new surroundings, my colleagues and this league, and I would love to win a trophy in my first season.



    "If it can be the Premier League then great."
