Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has reaffirmed his plans for Juan Mata.

Mourinho denies reports he aims to offload the Spain midfielder.

"He is player of the year for a reason," he says. "[The] people love him but also his fellow players love the work he does for the team. He fits in my plans. I have my ideas about him, about where and how he can perform better in the situations where he finds it a bit more difficult."
