Arsenal need a defensive recruit, and they have been highly linked with Real Valladolid defender Fernando Calero.
Well, Pucelanos’ defender has given these speculation one big leap and has got Arsenal fans pretty excited…
The Real Valladolid defender, 23, is been tipped to join Arsenal in January.
Calero played for Valladolid in Saturday’s 1-1 draw against Athletic Bilbao and with La Liga going into winter break the defender hopped on a plane to England shortly after.
Last night, Calero revealed his presence in the Capital, staying at the H10 Waterloo hotel on Southbank.
Arsenal are in middle of defensive crisis and Unai Emery would definitely be looking to get someone in, as early as possible. Meanwhile, Calero’s presence in London has led many to believe that a deal is already in place and are expecting an announcement soon.
You could see, How excited Arsenal fans are already…
Fernando Calero has signed for Arsenal. You heard it here first.

I’ve heard solid feedback of Fernando Calero from my bro who watches him on the regular. I was sharing my concern that we could use a 6’5” CB & he claims his vertical game & athleticism make up for it. Love the fact that he’s 23 & is said to be an aggressive, feisty D-man. 🔴⚪️ pic.twitter.com/EJkbFGLiKg

A player who would be interesting for Arsenal: Fernando Calero Valladolid, revelation of the first part of the season in Liga among the defenders. 23 years, clause at 11M. Profile + Emery-compatible with a possession style of play. #AFC #Arsenal pic.twitter.com/2qc0eebcef

Fernando Calero seems to be a younger version of Koscielny in terms of playing style. Pretty much what we want I guess.
