A number of Arsenal fans have taken to Twitter to comment on a player they want the Gunners to sign from Valencia – but not reported target Carlos Soler.

A report in claims that Soler is high up on Arsenal’s wishlist, despite having signed a new contract at Los Che just before Christmas ().

The report claims that Arsenal have already laid out the groundwork by registering their interest to Valencia before the January window and will revisit the interest in the summer.
