Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger, has refused to comment on a possible bid for Chelsea playmaker, Juan Mata.
The Gunners boss, when asked after watching his side qualify for the group stages of the Champions League, replied:
“I watched the [Chelsea] game last night that Juan Mata could be on the market. I don’t know, there is a reluctance in England to sell to each other.
“Does that frustrate me? Yes, I like him.
“Everybody knows we are in the market. The whole world knows that now. I cannot be more creative than that, because all has been said and nothing has been concluded.”
Despite leaving the Spaniard on the bench for the entire 90 minutes against Manchester United this week, Jose Mourinho insisted that he will not leave Stamford Bridge. However, the 25-year-old’s father was spotted in an executive box at the Emirates, as Arsenal sealed their place in the round of 32, sparking speculations that a deal might be close.
