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.

CAZORLLALALALA!!!

This is real INTENT.......We are now in a better posiion than we have for some time

Can we get them all clicking quickly is now the key

Wenger says he wants to get them into it slowly......lets hope it isnt too slowly as after all they are all internationals

Santi!!! World class signing, well done to all at the club this Summer has been superb so far

Imagine all first 11 now judging that RvP leaves and everyone fit

Szczesny

Sagna - Verm - Kos - Gibbs

Song - Wilshere

Walcott - Cazorla - Podolski

RvP

Giroud, Gervinho, Ox on the bench ******* quality

Basically if we can keep RvP and get Jack back then we have replaced Cesc with Cazorla and Nasri with Podolski and Djourou & un-experienced Kos to Verma & an experienced Kos from 2010/2011

Fianally!!!!!!!!!!!!
YEah!!

World class

I am not one for conspiracy theories, however we did announce this signing of RvP's birthday.

Amazing signing, I can't remember the last time a transfer deal made me this happy.

And also the signing that killed Mario

******* YESSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Santi Caz is coming to town!!

Welcome to Arsenal Football Club

WE GON DOMINATE !!!!!

hopefully that mario f***wit doesnt come back here.

Get in!

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH

That's how I;m feeling inside... so pumped!!!

Welcome to Arsenal Santi <3

You will be loved here, finally our very own "marquee" signing!!!

Thank you GOONER1991.

So happy we finally announced Cazorla. Great signing!!!

Welcome to Arsenal!

I've got interesting stats about him here:

Despite suffering 86 fouls, Cazorla was the only outfield player to start every game in La Liga last season. Small but strong.

Santi #Cazorla created 84 goalscoring chances in La Liga last season - only Ozil, Messi & Navas created more [via @OptaJoe]

So he's small but strong... like Gnarby and he OX. So that's our new type of winger.

Although him playing on the wing will be great, I really hope he will be deployed as our CAM, seeing as we have a massive lack of quality there atm.

Guys get on this, makings of a great song here:

We wanted a big signing, then Arsène said:
I can’t give you Neymar but here instead is Cazorla.
Ca-ca-ca Cazorla…

Now I’m not dumb but I can’t understand why we’re signing Cazorla instead of Scott Dann,
Ca-Cazoooorla, Ca-ca-ca Cazooooorla…

– duh duh duh duh DUH-DUH –

And he’s not the world’s most physical guy but he can shoot with both feet and he’s got an eye for the goal-a,
Ca-ca-ca Cazorrrrla

Girls will be gays and gays will be girls, it’s a mixed up muddled up Santos world except for Zorla,
Ca-ca-ca Cazorrrrla

He's a creative midfielder. Ask any Spanish journalist or pundit. Cannot see him playing out wide unless Jack makes a remarkable recovery and goes into unbelievable form.

Chuffed Really struggling to believe we've signed a trio of (relatively) experienced, talented attacking players. With Cazorla it sounds like we've got an option either in the 'Fabregas' position or as one of these wide creative midfielders that Wenger loves so much.

That's OPTIONS.
