Arsenal have been consistently linked with the Malaga midfielder Santi Cazorla. It is thought that the Premier league club are close to agreeing a deal worth around £ 18 million for the midfielder. Malaga are struggling with finances at the moment and that they are desperate to raise the funds. They are expected to do so by selling one of their star midfielders Santi Cazorla in this transfer window. Even though Arsenal are likely to lose their star assets in the form of Robin van Persie and Theo Walcott, they have made some significant purchases so far in the window.
The arrival of Lukas Podolski has been a major positive factor at the Emirates stadium. Now, the arrival of Santi Cazorla will also be similar according to the Arsenal midfielder Mikel Arteta, who was at £ 10 million signing from Everton on the deadline day of last summer’s transfer window. He has become extremely crucial in his first full season with the club. He has now said that the arrival of Santi Cazorla will prove to be the difference between Arsenal winning the title and finishing in the fourth position. Arsenal are without a trophy in the last seven seasons.
“I cannot talk about the actual situation, but I can say that I know him as a player really well. And he’s a top, top player. He has got unbelievable quality and talent and that is all I can say,” said Mikel Arteta. “I share the opinion of Mikel Arteta. Cazorla is a great player. We bought Olivier Giroud and Lukas Podolski, but we are not at the end of the transfers. We will still bring players in,” said the Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger in response to the comments made by Mikel Arteta. Arsenal are expected to sign a defender in this transfer window as well.
