Chelsea's Juan Mata welcomes competition for places and is hoping to improve

Juan Mata: Not concerned about the competition for places at Chelsea

Juan Mata has insisted he is not worried about the increased competition for places at Chelsea and will stay focused on trying to improve as a player.

Willian has become the latest recruit to bolster Jose Mourinho's attacking midfield options, following the summer signing of Andre Schurrle and the return of Kevin de Bruyne from a loan spell at Werder Bremen.
Victor Moses has left for Liverpool on a season-long loan but Oscar and Eden Hazard remain key players at Stamford Bridge, and Mata has not been a regular starter yet this season after his preparations were disrupted by injury.
He is now fully fit and raring to go and maintains that having so many talented players can only benefit the Blues as they challenge for silverware on multiple fronts.

"My aim hasn't changed. I want to be as good as I was in the last two seasons and even improve, to become a better player."
