Juan Mata has revealed that he would be open to a Premier League move should the opportunity arise.
The Spain international is hot property at the moment, having dazzled for Valencia over recent years.
At just 22 years of age it is expected that Los Che will struggle to retain his services for long, especially as they continue to struggle under the weight of financial upheaval.
Unsurprisingly, a switch to England has been touted, with the youngster seemingly tailor-made for the Premier League.
A tricky winger with a keen eye for goal, any number of clubs would be happy to have him within their ranks.
Mata insists he will not be pushing for an imminent transfer, as he is happy at Mestalla, but accepts the issue may be taken out of his hands.
InspirationalShould Valencia decide that the time is right to cash in, Mata admits he would relish the chance to try his luck at any of England's so-called 'Big Four'.
"I don't know if I'll be sold, it depends on the economic situation of the club, which right now isn't so good," he told FourFourTwo .
"In the summer we have to raise a lot of money, and there is a possibility that they may have to sell players.
"In Spain they show many Premier League games on TV and it is an inspirational league.
"Maybe I would like to play in the Premier League. At the moment I'm here, I love living in Valencia and playing in the Spanish league, but in England the league is also top class and there are many big teams. Who knows?
"I admire Arsenal and the philosophy that the young players have. Liverpool, with their Spanish players - they also have an incredible squad. And Manchester United and Chelsea are teams that are very big, like Real Madrid and Barcelona, with money and incredible players."
