Mata during his first training with Chelsea

Chelsea have completed the signing of 23 year old Spaniard Juan Manuel Mata, giving the midfielder a five year contract which runs through the 2016 season. The move cost the Blues about 25 million pounds, the player being likely to make his debut next weekend against Norwich City.
Mata parted with Valencia after four remarkable seasons which brought him the King’s Cip in 2008. Winner of three big trophies, including the FIFA World Cup, as well as the U-19 and U-21 European championships, Mata picked 39 selections and scored ten goals with his first side Real Madrid where he also made his senior debut.
Arrived on Stamford Bridge, the player looked pleased with the atmosphere created by his new colleagues. “Right from the first moment there have been good feelings all around me. Training has been great and the players are a great group to train with. Valencia was a big club anyway but I have left to join a bigger club and it is all about the opportunity to win trophies and I have that here.”
Andre Villas Boas had also praised the player whom he had heavily linked earlier this summer. The Portuguese coach has thus made his fourth big name transfer, having brought Genk keeper Thibaut Courtois, Lukaku and Barca’ Romelu.
Chelsea are also hunting Tottenham Hotspur’s Luka Modric as the Blues need one more player in the middle. The West Londoners failed to bring Segio Aguero of Atletico Madrid who was finally given a huge deal by Manchester City, but still lead the race for the Spurs Croatian who is very likely to part with Harry Redknapp’s side and join the local rivals.
Spurs have only accepted to open talks with the former champions, but no rumors has been confirmed yet. Meanwhile, Boas is struggling to improve his side’s play as Chelsea have won just four points this season after a scoreless draw to Stoke City and a hard fought 2-1 win over West Bromwich Albion whom the Blues edged in the last ten minutes thanks to Malouda’s winner.
However, they still face difficulty in front as Fernando Torres is still chasing his second goal for the Blues. Concerning the departures, Chelsea have lost the 22 year old Rajkovic, too. The player went to Hamburg, splitting with the Bleus after four years. He has thus become the fifth player to pack from London after Jacopo Sala, Gokhan Tore, Michael Mancienne and Jeffrey Bruma.
Chelsea will next meet Norwich City, who have won two points this new season thanks to two 1-1 draws against Wigan Athletic and Stoke City respectively. The Blues will meet Manchester United in the fifth day on Old Trafford. The defending champions have earned six points in two games thanks to two clear defeats against Tottenham Hotspur and West Browich Albion, sitting second in the table, just behind City.
