The darling of Arsenal fans during his time at the Emirates Stadium between 2012 and 2018, Santi Cazorla is now preparing to battle with his club Real Oviedo for a place in the Spanish first division next year… before considering retiring this summer? At 39, the Iberian is already considering a career change and has no intention of drawing a definitive line on the world of football. In this sense, the native of Llanera confirmed that he had recently discussed with his former teammate and now Arsenal coach, Mikel Arteta, with a view to joining his staff.
“I have a very special affection for Arsenal. I spent six wonderful years there and I know how much everyone loves me there. Of course, I was lucky enough to share a dressing room with Mikel Arteta and now he is the manager. We had conversations about the possibility of joining his staff. But for now, I’m focused on nothing other than contributing to this club, Oviedo, and continuing to enjoy football as a player. Then we’ll see what the future holds for me. “It’s clear that Arsenal is a club that has always left the door open for me to come back.”, expressed the ex-Gunner. The message got through.
