And last night shared a snap of himself in the capital, staying at the H10 Waterloo hotel on Southbank.

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.

It's possible the Arsenal transfer target is merely on holiday – and some fans took Southbank as the location to mean he's not heading to North London.

On social media user wrote: "He played the [Bilbao] game so not like he missed the game to fly out.

"The Spanish league is now on break until the first week of Jan so he's probably on vacation.

"May even just be passing through since London is a travel hub."

Another added: "If he's in Waterloo probably not [going to Arsenal], may as well forget about it."

Calero has been in the Valladolid first-team set-up since 2017 having worked his way through the youth ranks at Malaga, after a previous spell at his current club.

The Spaniard has scored once in 24 La Liga games.
