During the summer there were a host of interesting new arrivals to the Premier League and some of the most influential have been Spanish. Here are three new Spanish arrivals making waves in England this season.
Santi Cazorla – Though Arsene Wenger has been much criticized this season, the signing of the diminutive midfielder/winger from financially stricken Malaga was a masterstroke. Malaga coach Manuel Pellegrini was adamant that the player was worth considerably more than the £15m Arsenal paid for his services and, to date, there has been nothing to refute this claim. Technically gifted and with an eye for goal, Cazorla has all the attributes to become an Arsenal legend.
Esteban Granero – The twenty-five year old midfielder, who arrived in the summer on a four year deal from Real Madrid has been one of the few positives in what has been a dreadful season for QPR. The combative Spaniard may not have the flair of some of his fellow countrymen, plying their trade in the Premier League, but his defensive strengths and simple yet effective distribution offer the West London club real hope in their fight to avoid the drop.

Michu has been a bargain i agree, he is a very clever player indeed. Noticed today he is linked away with Genoa, he would be silly leaving Swansea for Genoa in my opinion. Stay where you are mate..
