The potential return of Santi Cazorla to Arsenal

Santi Cazorla, one of the most beloved players in Arsenal’s recent history, could be making a sensational return to the club. The midfielder, who played alongside current Arsenal manager Mikel Arteta during his time as a Gunners player, is highly regarded by fans and has left an indelible mark on the club. Cazorla joined Arsenal ahead of the 2012-13 season and went on to make 180 appearances, scoring 29 goals and providing 45 assists before departing in 2018.

During his time at Arsenal, Cazorla became a fan favorite at the Emirates Stadium. Known for his exceptional technical skills, he mesmerized spectators with his ability to control the game from midfield.

Following his stint at Arsenal, Cazorla moved to Villarreal and most recently played for Al-Sadd SC in Qatar. However, it seems that a return to Arsenal is on the horizon. Mikel Arteta, who knows Cazorla well from their time as teammates, is keen to offer the 38-year-old an opportunity to return to Arsenal for the upcoming season.

Cazorla is eager to continue playing for one more year before retiring from professional football. But, the prospect of returning to Arsenal, this time as a coach, is appealing to him. Cazorla has expressed his willingness to take on a coaching role at Arsenal if given the opportunity in the future. His close relationship with Arteta and his deep connection to the club make this a potential reunion that both fans and Cazorla himself would relish.

Cazorla eagerly expresses his willingness to seize any chance for an Arsenal comeback. “We’ll see. If I have the possibility to come back, I will be back. I don’t know which position in the club, as a coach or sports director. But of course, I would like to come back in the future.”

“Of course, I would like to come back. I have to wait if the club thinks about me, if I can help in something – as a coach or a sporting director.”
