Arsenal fans may not be overwhelmed by the deadline day signing of Spartak Moscow’s Kim Kallstrom on loan until the end of the season but the experienced Swede clearly has some talent. Not as much talent as Julian Draxler, but what can you do? Arsenal Manager Arsene Wenger said that Draxler was not coming, it was all a fabrication made up by the newspapers. But he also said this morning that the odds were 80-20 of new players coming in. I guess he meant just Kim Kallstrom.
The Daily Mail is also reporting that Arsenal might be in for Lazio stalwart and veteran German international Miroslav Klose on a short-term loan. Now we’re hearing Lazio shot that down. So it’s Kim Kallstrom and…..Kim Kallstrom.
