London: Arsenal nearly bought the Spaniard two years ago, only for the Blues to snap winger up instead. Gunners are again pondering making a sensational move to sign Chelsea midfield player Juan Mata this summer, according to Daily Mail.
The north London club, armed with a reported summer transfer war chest valued at 70 million pounds, have been linked with a whole host of big-name players from across the Continent of late, including the likes of Real Madrid striker Gonzalo Higuain, Liverpool front man Luis Suarez and Manchester United attacker Wayne Rooney.
However, as yet the club have still to bring any of those star names to the Emirates, although it now appears as though Arsenal head coach Arsene Wenger is set to turn his attentions towards Chelsea's brilliant Spain international instead.
The Frenchman actually tried to sign the 25-year-old from Valencia in the summer of 2011, only for arch-rivals Chelsea to beat him to his signature.
