Santi Cazorla is closing in on pre-season training with Villarreal as the midfielder looks set for an impossible return to playing at the top level.

Arsenal have announced the nine players they’re releasing ahead of the 2018/19 season, with more potentially to come in the following weeks.

Former Arsenal midfielder Santi Cazorla has officially joined Villarreal, the club announced on Tuesday.

Santi Cazorla is currently training with Deportivo Alaves, using their facilities to get match fit, despite rumours that he’ll spend pre-season with Villarreal.

Santi Cazorla left Arsenal this summer in one of the saddest departures from the club in recent memory.

Santi Cazorla has left Arsenal after six years in North London, the club has announced.

Villarreal club ambassador Marcos Senna revealed on Saturday night that the club are in advanced negotiations for Santi Cazorla to join them in pre-season.

The make-up of Mikel Arteta’s backroom team is the final obstacle standing between the Manchester City assistant and a job as Arsenal manager, according to reports.

Villarreal have reportedly made a ‘tentative approach’ to Santi Cazorla, hopeful that they can lure him back to Spain providing he is able to regain full fitness.

Santi Cazorla has confirmed that he does not know what his future holds as Arsenal have yet to offer him a new contract.

Arsenal are considering offering Santi Cazorla a new contract even though it seems unlikely the Spaniard will ever be able to play at the top level again.

Painful as it is to say, Santi Cazorla seems increasingly unlikely to ever return to the pitch for Arsenal, so it’s important for the club to look for a replacement this summer.
