Today is the birthday of Santi Cazorla, Arsenal's "little magician".
On 7 August 2012, it was officially announced that Cazorla had signed a long-term deal with Arsenal, worth £10 million.
Cazorla picked up the man of the match award on his debut for the club against Sunderland, and followed that with another accomplished display at Stoke City.
Cazorla was also integral in ending the club's nine-year trophy drought, scoring a crucial free-kick en route to winning the FA Cup in 2014. Injuries plagued his latter years in England, and his six-year association with Arsenal ended in 2018.
He has gone down the darkest alley in the past but now he has got out of the dilemma and embarked on a new adventure in La Liga at Villarreal.
