Big news! Hunter confirms Arsenal are way ahead of any other club in a bid to land Cazorla. "If the push, he will sign

Also retweeted by Fourth Official. Not sure how reliable these guys are.

Short article here.

Graham Hunter an English journalist and a correspondent for La Liga has confirmed Arsenal are way ahead of any other club in negotiating a deal for Santi Cazorla.

Hunter when asked on Cazorla: “This is the big story, Malaga are not paying their players or tax to the Spanish F.A.

"Clubs have been aware of this for a long time. Redknapp had a big interest and Tottenham know a lot about the player”

When asked on a destination for star player Cazorla Hunter continued: “However Arsenal are far better placed, they are further down the road, Arsenal are ahead of every club in Europe to sign Cazorla. He’d fit in perfectly at Barcelona but if Arsenal continue pushing they will sign him”

Arsenal have been quietly linked with Santi Cazorla, 27 who can play in an attacking midfield role or on either wing. Cazorla was the standout player in the Malaga side last season.

I'd have my doubts about Cazorla's ability to adapt to the EPL. Not sure about this one; definitely means Walcott is on his way if he's signed and I wouldn't be entirely happy with that. Still think there's more left in the tank in Theo.

Wenger would be looking to play cazorla as a AM

Nuri Sahin · 22-07-2012 05:29PM

Carzola relished playing as an AM at various times under Pellegrini so it wouldn't be surprising if Wenger does indeed see him playing there for Arsenal.

Bit of an lesser known name, but a player that I'm shocked a bigger club has not picked up is Alain Traore whom has signed for Lorient for €3-4m from Auxerre. Would have been good option for Arsenal actually if they are looking for a CAM.

Samich · 22-07-2012 05:59PM

Cazorla would be a great addition for Arsenal, would play AM I'd say.

Ah that's hard to say given how little I know of his current situation. As I said, there are far better defenders out there that I feel Milan given the money they are bringing in with the sales of Silva and Ibra should be looking at. Mbiwa at Montpeiller springs to mind immediately.

#ITK :pac:

Sky Italia saying Allergi has approved for the signing of Mbiwa, Milan are close to signing him for an incredible €6m and that the deal could be closed within the next few days.

Nicollin said they wouldn't sell Giroud for anything less than 40M a good few months ago, so I wouldn't take what he says seriously. I think if Milan bid around 10M, they'll get the player for sure.

Obviously I don't think what he said is true, but he'll certainly go for more than €6m.

Have Montpellier signed anyone to replace the disemboweling of their team?

He has just under 11 months left on his contract, and has refused an extension. Would not be surprised if he ends up moving for that kind of money. He will be a bargain for whatever club gets him.

Seaneh · 23-07-2012 12:07AM

If the player want's to leave, there isn't much the club can really do.

I don't think Milan will get him for as cheap as €6m but I think they could easily get him for less than €12 giving his contract and the fact that the player wants to leave.

Would be a nice signing.

3 or 4 more like that and I might not bomb Berlusconi's offices after all.

Should be really chuffed if you land him. Was my no.1 choice if Skrtel was off like some in the media were saying last month. Just an all round excellent defender with great leadership skills to boot. I can see him captaining France at some point in the future.

It's a non-story.

Still have 3 years left at QPR. Exciting times for the club, which I intended to be a part of.

As a Sunderland fan I'm more than happy to see the back of him. Just need to get rid of Shola Ameobi now and we can stop going into games against Everton and Newcastle automatically 1-0 down :pac:

He'll be 33 halfway through this season, and his production was massively down last season (2 goals and 2 assists compared to his usual 8 goals and 5 assists). Probably the right time to move on for all concerned though he'll certainly be a loss for Everton in the dressing room.

Surely some others would be interested in him at this price.

Paully D · 24-07-2012 03:24AM

Anyone else think Maiga could well be an absolutely superb signing for West Ham, lads?

Newcastle were after him before Cisse but something came up in his medical and they pulled out of the deal. Both have a lot of similarities - similar build, stature and playing style. Another thing working in their favour is that players coming from Ligue 1 seem to settle right into the Premier League.

Providing there's no fitness issues the £5m fee could prove to be a bargain.

DenMan · 24-07-2012 10:08AM

Cazorla to Arsenal possibly. Would be a great signing.

Cisse shined for a piss poor Frieburg side for a long time in a tougher league. I can't stress the piss poor part enough, plus he was very good in France before that. Maiga had the assist machine that is Marvin Martin to depend on.

I'll agree on the latter part of your comment though. It'll be interesting to see where he plays for them. Heard he failed a medical with Newcastle, shame. Scored a cracker against Montpeiller I remember seeing in highlights last season which is worth checking out.

His agent connecting him to Liverpool and others clearly did the trick...
