Former Arsenal star Santi Cazorla signs new Real Oviedo deal aged 40

Former Arsenal game maker Santi Cazorla has signed a one-year contract extension with newly promoted Laliga-side Real Oviedo, the Spanish club announced on Saturday.

Cazorla, who will be 41 in December, joined Oviedo in August 2023 and led his boy's club back to the top flight for the first time in 24 years last season.

During his 81 performances for Spain, he won the European Championship in 2008 and 2012.

Cazorla also lifted the FA Cup twice during his time in England.

“With this renewal, Santi Cazorla, a symbol and emblem from Oviedo, proves that dreams, when chased with the heart, come true,” the Asturian club said in a statement.

“Real Oviedo has protected the leadership of a football player that embodies the values of the club like few others, both on and outside the field,” they added.
