As the Daily Mirror have Arsenal fans looking alarmed here in the Football Transfer Tavern, our landlord reminds them that a rumour is just that, a rumour.
The reason for the panic is all down to the claim made on Spanish radio station Cadena Cope that Santi Cazorla has agreed terms with La Liga champions Atletico Madrid, who are keen to add the Spaniard to their midfield and build on their already impressive side.
As one of our punters quips over a pint, a couple of months ago, the fans may have been willing to accept a good chunk of cash in exchange for the little star, but after seeing how good Cazorla can be when he puts his mind to it, that idea is now one they are ready to fight against.
We think that had Real Madrid come calling, it may have been a little bit different and despite their improvement under Diego Simeone, Atleti do not have the name or the money to really lure a player if their club does not want to sell them.
