Juan Mata's Chelsea exit hint puts Manchester United, Arsenal and Spurs on alert
CHELSEA midfielder Juan Mata has dropped a subtle hint that he is struggling with Jose Mourinho's treatment of him at Stamford Bridge.
Mata has made just three appearances so far this season, and is yet to play a whole 90 minutes for the Blues.
And with Manchester United, Arsenal and Tottenham linked with the Spaniard this summer, he could look to make a move in January.
The 25-year-old revealed he is going through a 'difficult' time at the moment in a blog article published on Spanish sports website Grada 360.
"Thanks a million for your messages; they are really moving, everything would be more difficult without you guys!" Mata said.
Mourinho insists Mata has a future at Chelsea but having admitted Oscar is his chosen one for the No 10 role, the former Valencia star may struggle for game-time this season.
And with next summer's World Cup on the horizon, United, Arsenal and Spurs could be tempted to bid for his services in the New Year.
