English Premier League side Arsenal will no longer renew Santi Cazorla’s contract following the confirmation of his exit by the club’s management.
In a Monday statement by the club, Chief Executive Ivan Gazidis said, “Santi is always one of my favourite players to watch. His natural ability with both feet, his speed of thought and movement were central to our best performances in recent years.
“He plays with a joy and freedom which is very rare. We wish him well for the future and thank him for his important contribution to our club.”
The 33-year-old, who has not played for Arsenal since October 2016 following his injury, is currently within the negotiation/transfer radar of his former club Villarreal.
