Arsenal hero, Santi Cazorla joins new club

Arsenal hero, Santi Cazorla has agreed on a deal to return to his boyhood club, Real Oviedo.

Cazola signed a one-year deal with Real Oviedo, where he spent most of his youth career from 1996-2003 before moving to Villarreal.

The 38-year-old had also played for Arsenal and Malaga, while winning two European Championships with Spain in the past.

A statement from the Segunda Division club read in part: “The new Carbayón footballer, longing for the Oviedista fans, arrives free and signs for a year to go on to collect the minimum professional salary set by LaLiga for the Spanish Second Division.

“Santi Cazorla will not make statements until the moment of his official presentation.”

Real Oviedo began their Segunda Division campaign last Saturday, losing 1-0 at Tenerife.
