Reports are out claiming that Arsenal remain hopeful of signing Chelsea midfielder Juan Mata.
The People claims that the 25 year old Spanish international will have to demand a transfer in order to push through a move to Arsenal on Monday.
It is said that the Gunners wanted to sign the former Valencia star – an interest confirmed by boss Arsene Wenger on Tuesday.
However Mata now faces a huge decision – knowing he will not be a regular starter in Chelsea’s biggest matches under Jose Mourinho but also aware that the club will not actively look to sell him before the transfer window shuts.
