Gunners unlikely to seal Mata deal

ARSENAL manager Arsene Wenger will step up his summer recruitment drive ahead of the start of pre-season training next week, but reported target Juan Mata insists he is happy to stay put at Valencia.

The Gunners have so far only confirmed the arrival of promising young defender Carl Jenkinson in a £1 million (€1.1m) deal from Charlton.

However, Wenger is keen to further bolster a squad which again failed to deliver a trophy last season, imploding on all fronts after a shock defeat to Birmingham in the Carling Cup final at Wembley.
