Chelsea boss Jose Mourinho has blocked Juan Mata's move to Arsenal.

The Daily Star says the unsettled playmaker was keen on a switch from Chelsea to the Gunners.

But Mata has been told there is no chance of him being allowed to leave Stamford Bridge.

Mata's father, who is also his agent, was in the directors' box at the Emirates Stadium on Tuesday night and the Gunners were aware Mata, 25, would be willing to join them.
