Arsenal fans beg club to re-sign miracle man Santi Cazorla as it emerges hes 4th most creative player in Europe

ARSENAL fans have begged their club to re-sign Santi Cazorla – as he is the fourth most creative player in Europe.

The Spanish midfielder spent six years with the Gunners before he completed a switch to La Liga side Villarreal in 2018.

Santi Cazorla has scored four goals and made four assists for Villarreal this season

And the 34-year-old has created an impressive 30 chances for the Spanish club this season.

Only Fiorentina ace Erick Pulgar (30), Manchester City’s Kevin De Bruyne (36) and Liverpool star Trent Alexander-Arnold (37) have made more in the top five leagues.

After the statistic went viral on Twitter, one fan on Reddit said: “I would take Cazorla back in a heartbeat seriously.

“Even if it is one for one season. He has shown he still has it at the highest level.”

Another said: “He would be a godsend right now. We should approach in January for a loan.”

One Twitter user said: “Cazorla… Why we let him out?”

While one supporter even suggested he deserves Arsenal’s captain armband after Granit Xhaka appeared to tell fans “f*** off”.

During his time with the Gunners, Cazorla scored 29 times and made 44 assists in 180 appearances.

He was warned in 2017 that he might never play for Arsenal again after a number of surgeries led to him losing eight centimetres from the tendon in his right foot.

But he has made a miraculous recovery from the career threatening injury and is continuing to steal the show in Spain’s top flight.

He has scored four goals and made four assists in 10 games for Javier Calleja’s side this season – who are seventh in the league table.
