Arsenal Football Club is delighted to announce that Spain international Santi
Cazorla has joined the Club on a long-term contract.
Santi Cazorla - full name Santiago Cazorla González - joins Arsenal for an
undisclosed fee from Malaga. He was a key part of the Malaga side which
finished fourth in La Liga last season, qualifying
for the UEFA Champions League for the first time in the club's history.
Cazorla, a versatile 27-year-old attacking midfielder, has made a total of 45
appearances for Spain and was a member of his country's victorious squads at
the European Championship in 2008 and 2012.
Before joining Malaga in 2011, Cazorla spent two spells at Villarreal, making
181 appearances and helping 'the Yellow Submarine' finish runners-up in La
Liga in 2008. In between these spells, he spent
the 2006/07 season in La Liga on loan at Recreativo. Cazorla spent the early
part of his career at youth level with Spanish side Oviedo.
Arsenal manager Arsène Wenger said: "Santi Cazorla is a great signing for
us. He is a player with good experience at both club and international level,
who will add significant quality to our squad.
"He is a versatile, attacking midfield player who can play comfortably on
either side of the pitch or centrally. He has good pace, is technically
gifted and will be a huge asset to Arsenal Football Club.
We are delighted that he is joining us."
Cazorla, who was voted Spanish Player of the Year in 2007, said: "I'm so
happy to be joining Arsenal. This is a club with great players, a fantastic
stadium and huge support.
"The Club has one of the best managers in football and their style of play is
recognised and admired all over the world.
"I'm so excited to be joining one of the greatest teams in Europe and also in
the Premier League. I will do my best to help Arsenal challenge for trophies
and make all the supporters happy."
Everyone welcomes Santi to the Club, his squad number will be confirmed in
due course.
