Juan Mata is probably one of nicest footballers in the world. He was a two-time Chelsea Player of the Year before being sold by Jose Mourinho to Manchester United. At Old Trafford, he has been mainly used as a squad player and he has failed to materialise a regular starting position at United.

Despite this, there is no denying that Mata is still a quality player and he has shown this during his time with Valencia and Chelsea. Also, Emery has previously worked with him and he knows how to get the best out of him.

If we speak strictly in financial terms, Mata will be the best option with guaranteed quality. He is in his final five months of his current contract with the Red Devils and will be a free agent next summer. If Arsenal do sell Ozil, Mata with his creative ability, experience, and zero transfer fee will definitely be a very smart buy.

According to reports, Arsenal want to sign Mata next summer for free but the Red Devils are trying very hard to stop Mata from joining Arsenal next summer on a free transfer.
