Valencia winger Juan Mata has welcomed speculation linking him with a move this summer.
The talented Spaniard was the star at the recent Under 21 European Championship and was instrumental to Spain’s success. His performances haven’t gone unnoticed with speculation linking him with a £20million move to the Premier League with Arsenal, Liverpool, Manchester United, Chelsea and Tottenham all reported as potential suitors.
Despite the recent speculation, the 23-year old is used to reports linking him with a move away from Valencia. Mata said:
“It is true that teams have been linked with me but this is a good sign that I am playing well.
“Despite all the rumours, I have to stay calm and step away from all the speculation. I am well aware of the rumours but this is not the first summer I have had to deal with this so they do not worry me.
“My aim now is to make sure I am ready for the start of the new season and keep improving as a player. I want to win more trophies.”
