Arsenal midfielder Santi Cazorla is reportedly trying to convince Fernando Llorente to move to the Emirates Stadium.

The Athletic Bilbao striker is out of contract with the Basque Country outfit in the summer and would be able to leave for free at the end of the season.

Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is thought to be keen on adding another forward to his squad in January, and many sources claim that Cazorla is doing his best to persuade his Spain teammate to join him at Arsenal.

Llorente was recently reported as saying: "I really like the Premier League and I've mentioned on more than one occasion that it's a league which appeals to me a lot.

"You never know. It's one good option in terms of my future but we'll have to wait until the end of the season to see what happens."

Cazorla joined Arsenal from Malaga in the summer.
