Former Spain and Arsenal star Santi Cazorla is open to a return to the Emirates Stadium.
Cazorla faces a decision on whether to bring the curtain down on his playing career in 2025, when his contract with Real Oviedo expires at the end of the season.
Despite turning 40 in December, Cazorla remains a key player in Oviedo, in his second season in the Spanish second tier.
The club is open to offering him an extension, if he remains fit and the chance to play until the age of 41 is on the table.
However, a move into coaching is an option and Cazorla is already thinking about his future plans.
Cazorla was a guest at Arsenal's Premier League win over Ipswich Town and took a quick photo after the match with his old teammate Mikel Arteta, as rumors swirled of a long-term comeback in North London.
“[Could I come back?] Yes, why not? Arsenal is my home. I like the club and the people, so we will see in the future.
“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.”
Cazorla and Real Oviedo are currently in their winter break and will return to action at home against Sporting Gijón on January 11.
