Arsenal next?- Fans excited as £10million rated defender spotted in London ahead of move

Real Valladolid defender Fernando Calero is in London sparking Arsenal transfer rumours.

Calero, 23, has been tipped to join the Gunners in January, says The Sun.

Arsenal boss Unai Emery is said to be a big fan of his compatriot – but the player has shot down claims that means he’ll be on the move to the Emirates.

He wrote on Twitter on Christmas Eve: “‘I’m a little tired of being told false information about myself. I’m just enjoying my free days with my girlfriend in London. Merry Christmas.”

Calero has a £9.8m release clause in his Valladolid contract.

Some Arsenal fans jumped the conclusion he’s in London to negotiate a transfer, others with Emery tipped to make new signings this January after losing key defenders due to injuries.

Nacho Monreal and Shkodran Mustafi are doubts to play at Brighton today because of hamstring injuries.

Right-back Hector Bellerin and centre-backs Rob Holding, Konstantinos Mavropanos are all out for the Amex Stadium trip, along with talented youngster Emile Smith Rowe.

Henrikh Mkhitaryan and Danny Welbeck are also unavailable.

There are no games in La Liga now until January 3, with Calero’s Valladolid not playing until January 5 – against Rayo Vallecano.
