World Class £30m Maestro Frustrated – Spurs to Lure him?

Chelsea’s player of the year Juan Mata is in the worst of problems under Jose Mourinho. It is quite baffling why a player of his quality does not start and has every right to be frustrated.

The Portuguese manager prefers playing Oscar as the number 10 alongside Hazard and the inconsistent Schurrle.

The Spaniard was recently dropped from the Spanish squad and fears that he may miss out going to the World cup with Spain if he does not play first team football.

Chances are there that he may as well be cup tied in the Champions League but Mata like everyone else wants to start week in week out and may look for a move away from the Blues in January.

Express reports that Spurs along with other clubs are interested in signing the Spaniard. Tottenham also tried to sign him in the latest transfer window and may move again early in the winter window to lure the £30m Spaniard to White Hart Lane.

Andre Villas Boas signed Mata for Chelsea and knows all about his qualities. He already signed top quality players this summer but the prospect of Lamela Eriksen and Mata playing behind Soldado will be mouth watering for the fans.

The question is, can they really lure him?

Chelsea blocked the loan move of Demba Ba just because they did not want to strengthen their rivals. Surely, Mata is miles ahead of Ba in terms of quality and selling him to Spurs will only make their rivals stronger.

AVB knows that if somehow Tottenham can sign Mata then they will become strong contenders for the premier league title.
