Valencia winger Juan Mata is nearing a switch to Arsenal after the Gunners have matched his release clause.
The Spain international is looking to leave Mestalla this summer and he is reportedly keen on a move to Arsenal.
Even though Valencia president Manuel Llorente recently stated that Mata would not be sold, the player’s future is no longer in his hands after Arsenal matched the player’s £17.5m release clause, as reported by Daily Mail.
The Gunners expect to wrap up the deal within next few days so that they could turn their attention to other targets.
Mata is set to become Arsenal’s second big name attacking signing this summer, after Lille’s Gervinho arrived to the Emirates a couple of weeks ago.
