Cazorla Due In London For Medical Ahead Of €22m Arsenal Move
By Gooner Mac Published: 1st August 2012With the summer transfer window in full swing, Football Talk will be keeping you up-to-date with all the latest transfer news throughout the summer. Today, Arsenal edge closer to Santi Cazorla.
Malaga winger Santi Cazorla is set to fly to London this week to undergo a medical ahead of a €22m move to Arsenal, according to Sky Sports News.
The Spaniard is determined to quit Malaga after reporting the club for unpaid wages and the La Liga side need the proceeds of his sale to help pay off mounting debts.
The clubs Qatar owners are currently trying to sell after racking up over £40m worth of debts. Talks with Albanian oil company Taci have broken down but there is interest from Russian and Middle East.
However, even if Malaga are sold Cazorla wants out and is keen to push through a move to north London, and it seems he’s set to get his wish.
Sky Sports claim that the 27-year-old is due to fly to London in the next 48 hours to undergo a medical, with Arsenal believed to have agreed a €22m (£17.3m) fee with Malaga. The players agent has already agreed personal terms with the Gunners and Arsene Wenger finally looks set to land one of his long-term transfer targets.
The Frenchman missed out on Cazorla last summer when he moved to Malaga from Villarreal for €19m. The attacking midfielder helped the club qualify for the champions league for the first time in their history, but it seems he’s set to end his short stay with the club and is on the verge of moving to the Emirates if Sky Sports News are accurate.

jessy?
these foreign ‘fans’ dont have a clue about arsenal let alone football.
spelling has nothing to do with knowledge you fool. you are obviously the uninformed one assuming negative things about people different from you. so pathetic
can you spell one word in albanian please? tell me you are smarter than me. now listen here, i love Arsenal even i hav never been at the Emirates in my life. i support them from more than 2 thousand kilometers far from north London, and i think this should make me a far better fan and gooner than you ignorant englishman.
Not really, if you were as good a fan as us “ignorant Englishmen” you would travel to see Arsenal play.
He has a point given that a large amount of “fans” giving views online are of the fan-base’s minority and they clearly aren’t too well equipped in terms of the English language and it is frustrating to see as a Gooner. Locale should be pushed aside and forgotten, we are all Gooners and that is what matters.. Just learn how to write in the language of preference…
MR JUSTIN: Did you mean to say, ”I cannot wait to see him in an Arsenal Jersey”?
Please get your grammar right as many people are reading amongst them, childre!!
Good to know OnDGooner, but next time, look up your spelling before submitting your comments. The last time i checked, children had an n to it, but yours, apparaently did not. just checked mine. lol. ciao.
Where as your grammar is squeaky clean? Clearly your use of punctuation leaves a lot to be desired, so stop trolling you hypocrite.

Well is all good if this is true bt we stil need DM to make the team complete as van persi is out
we need a DM as Van Persie is out? are u retarded RVP is a striker not a DM we need a DM coz song will go ACOF in january.
This is a fake news for arsenal i fan for ova 10yrs now cant sign a PLAYER of 27yrs old for dat amount €22m or £17.3m. I doubt it till tomorrow this time. Pls follow a beta source for news stop deceiving ppl.
Arshavin was 28 when he signed for more than £15M so wht are you on about? Desperate times demand desperate measures people! We are desperate and Carzola can give us a good 4 years service.
Addition of carzola in arsenal means that arsenal have mean business……just a DM,CB and a backup goalkeeper,we will be too hot to handle. expect real competition in EPL next season.
we will also need a back up full-backs for cover
It’s agood news but still arse need a striker cos RvP will leave surely so who? Will replace oliver.g if he injuerd
So so so gud is d same 2 4 Oliver case later it b come rael
Arsenal will remain the same bcoz dey r operating on a short-run……i pity em and wenger!
Arsenal wil neva win!!!!!
@bless you are not an arsenal fan. So shut up you cow
who are u 2 judge arsenal u beta keep ur mouth shut b4 we do dat 4 ur up Guuners
As a Gunner,am optimistic that cazorla wl brng sumthng to the team,Arsenal haterz,go to hell,you say Arsenal hv no world class playerz yet ur teams are poaching frm us,who z the best then?mxii
carzola is gonna be a gud addition 2 d squad.he is a superb A.M,it remains d replacement of Rvp.
Hey guy how come ♈ōϋ re here reading about arsenal,anyway i will show ♈ōϋ some thing dis season!
We need this deal signed,sealed and delivered to the Emirates ASAP.

Would prefer to see him on the wing rather than in central midfield.
