Mata flies in for medical

Valencia winger Juan Mata has flown to London in order to undergo a medical ahead of a proposed move to Chelsea. A number of Premier League clubs, including Liverpool and Arsenal, have been linked with the highly-rated winger, who was part of Spain's World Cup winning squad and was their Under-21 captain. However, the Blues moved into pole position to sign Mata in recent weeks with manager Andre Villas-Boas open about his interest in the player. The Spanish outfit confirmed on Sunday that they had agreed a fee with the West London club over the transfer of the 23-year-old, believed be in the region of €30million (£26million). Mata then confirmed via Twitter that he was heading to London on Monday to undergo a medical with the Stamford Bridge club. He tweeted: "Travel to London for medical examination, and come back to Valencia to say goodbye to everybody as you deserve...thanks so much!"
