OFFICIAL: Santi Cazorla signs a Long term Deal at Arsenal ( updated)

yeaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

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.

he already signed according to fifa's site, which probably means all the paperwork is done

Tbf Kick is right, how it looks we will never sign Carzola. Cazorla on the other hand

You realise anyway can write what ever they want on Wiki by clicking the edit page button?

This seems like past transfers with big names, we will miss out of something will go wrong.

Is the transfer done or not? I might watch EPL for a change

It's official.

Is RVP going to stay? Your attack would be sick. If Sahin joins you have a shot at EPL for the first time in years.

RvP has travelled in Germany with the squad for the last pre-season match against Köln, not that it means anything just pointing it out. No one knows really, Mancini apparently has admitted defeat, Juve have problems and United only are interested to make fans happy. Seems encouraging but if I had to bet I'd bet that he will play with Juventus next season.
