Santi Cazorla Rumours Are Both Incoming And Best Ignored

The fallout over Malaga's putative ownership change has included very a great deal of speak regarding the final destination of winger Santi Cazorla. With Cazorla largely connected to Arsenal, that are inside eager need of signing wise players (ooooh, Lukas Podolski diss!), there didn't appear to be much to speak regarding Chelsea-wise -- from Malaga's players, Salomon Rondon remains the probably transfer target.

But anticipate several Cazorla rumouring to heat up shortly, because of this note from AS:

Mientras esto sucede, la ofensiva del fútbol inglés para llevarse a Santi Cazorla se intensifica. El Arsenal ya ha comunicado al Málaga su conocida oferta de 23 millones de euros. A estos dos equipos se han unido los también londinenses Tottenham y Chelsea quienes, hace cuatro días, hicieron llegar su interés por el jugador aunque no presentaron una oferta en concreto.

Roughly translated, that's anything like Arsenal have available €23M, plus both Tottenham Hotspur plus Chelsea are interested, though neither have submitted an provide yet.

So! Cazorla interest! Orrrrrrrr not. Leaving apart AS's occasionally dubious standing, there's virtually no method which the Blues are really interested inside choosing up the Spain global, plus valuable small cause for Cazorla to like to join. Sure, we've been lookin at adding another winger this summer, plus he absolutely is a wise 1, yet Chelsea have been connected to the flexible winger/striker kinds (Hulk), the young prospects (Victor Moses) or the boths (Andre Schurrle). Cazorla, who'll turn 28 inside the center of upcoming season, isn't those points.

He's additionally not a obvious starter at Chelsea. He's not clearly much better than Juan Mata found on the left flank, neither Ramires found on the proper, plus though we can result in the argument which Ramires' design isn't conducive to playing against weaker groups, Marko Marin is about to aid available. Cazorla wouldn't come inexpensive, either -- when AS's report about Arsenal's call is correct, he'd be at smallest because pricey because Mata was last summer.

If there was clearly certain value inside Cazorla, I can see Chelsea having a real interest. Because there's not, I'd very only leave him to the groups scrambling for in-their-prime skill to aid out instantly. Hopefully the club sees factors the same technique.
