Goat god longing for real style (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

panache

'real style' is the definition.

'goat god longing' is the wordplay.
'goat god' becomes 'pan' (I've seen this before).
'longing' becomes 'ache' (longing can mean aching or pining for something).
'pan'+'ache'='PANACHE'

'for' is the link.

(Other definitions for panache that I've seen before include "Flamboyance - style" , "Dash and verve" , "flourish" , "Great style" , "A confident stylish manner" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun and The Times.
