Huntelaar lines up Arsenal move

Football transfers work very differently to how job changes operate in real life.

Apparently, according to the papers, if a player's friend is at one club, he is far more likely to end up going to that club. Much unlike real life where, unless you are 16, you never make a career change cos your mate works there.

It works the other way too as if a player is a mortal enemy with a fellow professional, he will never go there. Just look at how Zlatan Ibrahimovic and Rafael Van der Vaart have never played for the same club since having a public fall out at Ajax.

Another player who reportedly doesn't get on with a fellow professional is Klaas Jan-Huntelaar and Robin van Persie and this volatile relationship could pave the way for Huntelaar to move according to the Sunday Mirror.

The paper reports that the pair are big rivals in the Dutch squad and don't always see eye to eye and Huntelaar has always wanted to go to Arsenal but couldn't while van Persie was there. It's a footballer thing you see- normal grown ups would just get on with it one suspects.

Anyway, the paper reports that with Huntelaar's contract up at the end of the season, he is keen on a move to Arsenal.

Liverpool and Everton are also reportedly interested in the man who was the top scorer in the Bundesliga last year with 29 goals.
