Arsenal rival Reds in race for starlet

Arsenal are reportedly monitoring Liverpool target Santi Cazorla.

According to imscouting.com, the north London club are keen on the €20 million-rated Villarreal attacker, which would suggest a summer move is a possibility.

AS initially reported that Liverpool were considering a move for the 26-year-old in January but, although it did not come to fruition, the Anfield club are understood to remain keen on the Spaniard.

Cazorla has previously been linked with moves to Real Madrid and Barcelona but is said to have his sights set on a switch to the Barclays Premier League - seemingly opening the door for Arsenal or Liverpool.

A move for a player of Cazorla's value would appear to go against the ethos of Arsenal, who are famed for breeding success without spending heavily in the transfer market.
