By Telegraph staff and agencies[LNB]9:22AM BST 31 Jul 2011[LNB]Comments[LNB] The 23 year-old has been widely linked with a move away from the Mestalla this summer with north London rivals Spurs and Arsenal reportedly leading the chase. [LNB]Redknapp has been quoted as saying: "[Mata] is a player that we like. So do Arsenal and so do other clubs. I went to watch him when England Under-21 played Spain and I thought he looked fantastic. [LNB]"The chairman has been dealing with it so where it is I don't know - I don't deal with them transfers. [LNB]"I wouldn't want to say that it isn't happening in case we sign him tomorrow and you all say 'thanks Harry', but he's a player we like." [LNB]Should a move for Mata materialise, it would further fuel speculation over the future of Luka Modric, who is attracting interest from a host of clubs, including Chelsea.[LNB]Related Articles
