This isn't the first time that Huntelaar has been linked to Arsenal, but with the injury to Olivier Giroud, it looks like we may be going after him once again. The only problem is that the source reporting this isn't really one of the more reliable ones.

It doesn't necessarily mean this isn't real, but if you put a gun to my head, I'd say we should be following the Danny Welbeck transfer's progress much more closely than this one. But hey, weirder things have happened, I guess.
