Mikel Arteta, the manager of Arsenal, has recently sat down with former player Santi Cazorla to discuss the possibility of his return to the club. Cazorla, who was a beloved figure among Arsenal fans during his six-year tenure from 2012 to 2018, confirmed the meeting and expressed his love for the club.
During his time at Arsenal, Cazorla was known for his hardworking attitude, versatility, and technical ability. He even helped the team win two FA Cup trophies and was named Player of the Season in 2013. However, after leaving the club six years ago for Villarreal, and then a stint at Al Sadd in Qatar, the 39-year-old midfielder is now playing for Real Oviedo in Spain.
But it seems that Cazorla's playing days may soon come to an end, as he is expected to retire this summer. And it looks like he may be joining Arsenal's coaching staff, with Arteta showing a keen interest in bringing him back to the club. Cazorla himself has a special affection for Arsenal, as he shared a dressing room with Arteta during his time as a player.
The Spanish midfielder revealed that he has had discussions with Arteta about a potential coaching role, but for now, his focus is on helping Real Oviedo secure promotion to La Liga. They face Eibar in the play-offs this Saturday, and Cazorla is determined to contribute to his boyhood club's success.
He believes that getting promoted would be a great achievement, especially since it would be for his hometown team. Cazorla has won trophies with Spain and in England, but playing for his childhood club holds a special place in his heart. He feels a sense of responsibility towards the club and its fans, and the added pressure motivates him to perform at his best.
Arteta has also been vocal about his desire to have Cazorla on his coaching staff at Arsenal. He praised the midfielder's energy and knowledge, stating that it would be valuable to have him as part of the team. It remains to be seen what role Cazorla will take on at Arsenal, but for now, he is fully focused on helping Real Oviedo achieve their promotion dreams.
