Arsenal legend confirms talks with Mikel Arteta over sensational return

Premier League

Nottingham Forest

Cazorla is 38 but is still playing and is aiming to win promotion to La Liga with Real Oviedo through the play-offs. They face Eibar in a two-legged semi-final before the big showpiece to decide who goes up. And he has now revealed that the door is open for him to make a sensational return to the Gunners.

WHAT HAPPENED?

Cazorla played for Arsenal between 2012 and 2018, winning the FA Cup twice, and also battled through severe injury setbacks to get back to playing during his time with the Gunners. Of course, during that period, he and Arteta were team-mates.

THE BIGGER PICTURE

Cazorla told <a href="https://www.skysports.com/football/news/11095/13149663/santi-cazorla-admits-mikel-arteta-has-left-door-open-to-him-at-arsenal-as-he-eyes-fairytale-ending-with-real-oviedo" target="_blank">Sky Sports</a>: "I have a very special affection for Arsenal," Cazorla tells&nbsp;Sky Sports. "I spent six wonderful years there and I know how much all the people love me there."Of course, I was fortunate to share a dressing room with Mikel Arteta and now he is the manager. We had conversations about that but right now I am not focused on anything other than contributing to this club, Oviedo, and continuing to enjoy football as a player."After that, we will see what the future holds for me. It is clear that Arsenal is a club that has always left the door open to me to return. But right now, I have enough on my mind with the play-offs and trying to enjoy the last days of my playing career."

WHAT CAZORLA SAID

Cazorla's focus is solely on winning promotion with Oviedo. After that, a fairytale return to north London may well be on the cards, depending on whether he hangs up his boots or not.
