talkSPORT are one of several mainstream media outlets who report the 27-year-old is on-route to London to undergo a medical ahead of a proposed £17m move to Arsenal.
A picture of Cazorla at a Spanish airport has also been doing the rounds on Twitter, so it seems this transfer is edging ever closer. Only the more pessimistic of Arsenal fans would say this deal isn’t very much on.
Cazorla will be an excellent signing for the Gunners and it could be followed up by the loan signing of Nuri Sahin, if reports this morning are to be believed.

Cazorla in London 4 medical , mvilla follow. Mr wenger
Santiago and sahin will be a gud signing if the deal is done. We still need someone like ganso, m’villa and one creative defender to back up the starting xi if any injury occur.
Probably the best signing this club could have made. The only other comparable midfield player is Wesley Sneijder. This guy is capable of dominating the midfield and is a game changer. First time I have had hope for this club since Cesc left.
@arsenal_steve, “Probably the best signing this club could have ever made.”…dude seriously???….what was Thierry Henry, Berkgamp and Pires??
It seems as if he’s speaking in the present rather than the entire history of Arsenal FC.
Saying that in our current position Carzola is the best signing we could have made.
That’s how I understood it 2!
and me haha Quality signing for us! As always though, i wait to see him in an Arsenal Shirt on the official website.
yes, some people dont stop living in the past lol, top signing
woah look how small my sentences are!
best signing ever? Wright, Overmars, Pires, Iceman, Terry Henry to name but a few…
mext season is looking good
COYG!!!
Have checked newsnow 100 times today already. I am paraysed with excitement!!
That will be a good signing 4 arsenal,way 2 go gonners 4 life.
This signing, if completed will be the turning point in the club as it will lighten up the Arsenal’s midfield with enough fire works.I expect a lot of competition in this department of the team. Welcome Santi Carzola!
Helo al gunnerx i like d 3 signing dt wanger sigen let him sigen more
just waiting for their( cazorla santi and sahin) arrival at emirates . its great for the club. big up wenger!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am very happy, it just shows how seriouse Arsenal is this season, I love Vp but if he wants to go then let him go
we need somebody how loves this club even when we have it hard, you can see when club take care of the player when they are injiured, but as soon they can walk in stead of walk with Arsenal, they walk away, and they say we want trophy.
but good luck to him.long live Arsenal
Hii,i agrd with u cos even if he stay at arsenal, his mnd is nt dere any more,so he cn held 2 any where he like. CARZOLA WEllCOME 2 EMIRATES.
Wellcome Cazorla we expect more from you.gunners 4ever.
dont celebrate yet.it migt nt hapen trust arsenal.up gunas tough,, carzola is nt gud enough we ned sum1 lik modric. Wenga shud pls sign two defenders nd a goalkeeper!
hi guyz, according to Arsenal regime Cazorla deal is done. He is even wearing an Arsenal’s blue teeshirt in London, check him out guyz.
Cazola will add value 2 ars.teamz wil b shaken home & away. Now who wil rplace sagna? Mr. Wenger dont gumble pliz!
Wenger need to address the defensive problem too. for me defensive midfielder
(M villa) and one left back without loosing Walcot, Rvp and Song will solidify our team. otherwise good signing
if this guy is so special, why he is not regular for spain ?
Shut up enemy of gud tins Carzola is d best
Good signing
Cazorla is a good player nd a gra8 addition 2 arsenal team
Welcum carzola
Mata,torres and pedro etc are they regulars??
But how good are they? Torres is not even in the chelsea starting lineup,Mata had no effect at the olympics, neither is pedro
Good!!! Can’t wait to see him in arsenal colours
Santosh i gues u jst startd watchn futbal ystanyt if nt u wont b dis myiopic nd inexperiencd…indid carzola is a gud player nd wil fit in wel,d fact u havnt seen him play dosnt mean he isnt gud…thumbs up arsene i tink we nid sahin nd r.v.p 2 comit wich imo if he dosnt it wont hamper our ambition 4 d season…up gunners 4eva thru tick nd thin

Pls, buy luke shaw, debuchy as left back
Great news mr wenger,put our enemies to shame,bring us m’vila,llorente and nuri too,I believe cazorla is a done deal,then we can beat any team in d world.
What due mean he aint a regular for spain didnt u watch the euros? Hes been a regular 4a while now. Great addition to the team arsenal r starting to look a real dangerous team now trophys cant be to far away now. Prsonally i would put walcott upfont now if van p goes which he will n its not because he wants to win things its because of money i relly thought he was a step above most but money takes most. Shame he could of been a real legand but where ever he goes he will not do half to what he has or would of done with us gooners. How about baines for a left back? Dont need a defensive mid we have in frimpong n da other youngster the french bloke we was using just needs games will def get beta. Sorry for my spelling up the reds
Cazorla sahin dis is awesome, arsenal ar movin closer 2 end their trouphy drought, let c 1 more ful back an we re there, up gonners
Gud step nw RVP can stay
UP ARSENAL CAZORLA ON HÍS WAY
I’m very happy that the deal is now as good as completed. This is a good statement of intent from Arsene, that we are now back to a team to challenge for trophies and not playing for only securing champions league berth. Gunnas 4 life!!!
