According to Don Balon, Arsenal have been dealt a major blow, with midfielder Santi Cazorla ‘reaching an agreement’ to join former club Villarreal this summer. The Spanish international has spent the season sidelined with injury and ‘will not continue in the Premier League’.
Cazorla joined the Gunners from Malaga in 2012 and has gone on to make 180 appearances in all competitions, scoring and creating 74 goals. His last appearance for Arsenal came all the way back in October 2016 against FC Ludogorets in the Champions League.
After picking up an injury in the 6-0 home win, he’s spent the last two years trying to get back on the pitch, suffering a host of setbacks and almost having his foot amputated after suffering an infection.
