When asked if he would consider a return to the Emirates, he said: "Yes, why not? Arsenal is my home. I love the club and the people, so we will see in the future. I don't know [what role I would have]. I would have to think about that but something in football for sure, because that is what I love."
THE BIGGER PICTURE
Cazorla made 180 appearances for Arsenal between 2012-18, winning two FA Cups and two Community Shields. He has enjoyed a long and distinguised career and it would be no surprise to see him back at the Gunners in some way after what he did for the club.
