Spanish midfielder Santi Cazorla wants to return to Arsenal, and hopes that he can join the club in a coaching capacity in the future.
Cazorla joined the Gunners in 2012 and was one of their best players during his time at the club before picking up a serious injury in a Champions League match. Corrective surgery was then botched and he contracted gangrene, at one time meaning that there was a danger he could lose a leg or not be able to walk again.
He was released at the end of his contract and returned to his homeland, where he was able to resume his career again with former club Villareal, and even managed to force his way back into the Spanish national side again.
However, his affection for Arsenal remains, and now he is targeting a return to the Emirates when his playing career finishes, which, he acknowledges, at 35 years old, is now in its twilight.

He loves all sports but football is his abiding passion, and he still has dreams every now and then about scoring the winning goal in a Wembley Cup Final, even though his playing days are long gone. He follows most major leagues, across Europe at least, and has a favoured team in each. When he’s not watching, listening, reading or downloading podcasts about football, he spend his time worrying about his beloved Arsenal.
