Villarreal have today confirmed the signing of former Arsenal midfielder Santi Cazorla on a free transfer, after the Spaniard departed north London following a turbulent time with injuries.
The Spanish side broke the news via their official Twitter account , and the move will see the 33-year-old join up with the Yellow Submarine for a third and presumably final spell.
Cazorla last played a senior game just over 18 months ago in Arsenal's win over Ludogorets in the Champions League, but has been plagued by a horrific Achilles problem ever since.
The former Malaga man had been training with the club throughout pre-season as a free agent after his departure from the Emirates, but the Yellow Submarine opted to tie the creative midfielder down in the hope that he will be fit to play some part in the upcoming La Liga season.
