Centre-back Calero played in Saturday's 1-1 draw with Athletic Bilbao and hopped on a plane to England shortly after.

Earlier this month, the Gunners were linked with the young defender, as they currently sit in the midst of a defensive crisis.

As well as Rob Holding - out for the season - Unai Emery is currently missing FIVE other defenders for the festive schedule.

But while some Arsenal fans jumped the conclusion he's in London to negotiate a transfer, others were more pragmatic.

There are no games in La Liga now until January 3, with Calero's Valladolid not playing until January 5 - against Rayo Vallecano.
