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 finally confirm Estevao Willian signing
  • Chelsea close to agreeing terms with Garnacho

  • 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."
