Former Arsenal midfielder Santi Cazorla has revealed that he has spoken with Mikel Arteta about a fairytale return to the club.
The 38-year-old is still playing and is eyeing promotion to LaLiga with Real Oviedo through the play-offs.
Oviedo played Eibar in a two-legged semi-final, before the big showpiece to decide who goes up.
Cazorla played for Arsenal between 2012 and 2018, winning the FA Cup twice.
The Spaniard left England after battling through severe injury setbacks.
“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,” Cazorla told Sky Sports.
