Live Football Transfer News and Rumors – Villas-Boas is Confident in Mata’s quality!

Juan Mata have finalized his move from Valencia to Chelsea for a reported fee of 23.5 million pounds for a five-year deal.

After transfer on Wednesday, Chelsea manager Andre Villas-Boas said that Spaniard is quality addition to his squad and his arrival should add a real quality to the attacking line of his team: “We were looking for a player that would give us some creativity in the final third, not that we don’t have it but we always want to add to it when you find talent of this nature. We thought that the price was reasonable for Mata’s qualities and what he’s demonstrated in the Spanish league and the Champions League and we decided to bring him in. It’s one big addition that everybody was looking forward to especially you guys (the media) because speculation was coming from all fronts and there was criticism for the lack of market activity.”

Villas-Boas have also confirmed that Chelsea is bidding for midfielder Alvaro Pereira fromhis former club Porto, but was pessimistic about chances of getting the Uruguayan: “I can confirm we have made a bid for him but we are very, very far apart in terms of numbers and it’s very, very difficult that it would happen. I’m not very confident.”.
