Chelsea star Mata unimpressed by Barcelona rumours

Juan Mata has reaffirmed his commitment to Chelsea. In an interview with AS, the 25-year-old declared his bewilderment over reports that he was set to leave the Blues this summer, and spoke of how much he enjoys playing in the Premier League and living in London.

"I don't know where that came from," he said.

"The last time I spoke with the club they told me I was a very important player to them and transmitted confidence in me.

"I'm sure (new manager Jose) Mourinho will want to see everyone first and then decide what he wants to do."
