Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has cooled talk of moving for Real Madrid midfielder Esteban Granero.
The Mirror says Wenger has ruled Arsenal out of the chase for Granero.
That will leave the way open for injury-hit Valencia to make a move for the £10million-rated 24-year-old, who is likely to leave the Bernabeu in January.
The Gunners have been linked with the Spain Under-21 midfielder, but Wenger says he is not interested.
