Watford signing Manuel Almunia is convinced Arsenal have pulled off a coup over the imminent signing of Malaga midfielder Santi Cazorla.

Cazorla is already training at London Colney as he awaits his deal to be rubberstamped.

"One of these years, everything has to come together and be perfect, and now is the time for Arsenal," Almunia told the Sunday Mirror.

"They've signed some good players this year, Santi Cazorla is fantastic."
