Former Arsenal midfielder Santi Cazorla, 40, has signed a new one-year contract with boyhood club Real Oviedo as they prepare to return to the Spanish top flight.<\/b><\/p>\n

Cazorla who returned to the club 2023, played a key role last season as Oviedo won promotion to La Liga for the first time in 24 years.<\/p>\n

He scored the decisive goal<\/a> in the La Liga 2 play-off semi-final tie against Almeria, coming off the bench to convert a free-kick and secure a 3-2 aggregate victory.<\/p>\n

The former Spain international then scored a penalty<\/a> in the second leg of the final as they beat CD Mirandes in extra time.<\/p>\n

“With this renewal, Santi Cazorla, a symbol and emblem of Oviedo, proves that dreams, when pursued with the heart, come true,” the Asturian club said.<\/p>\n

“Real Oviedo secures the leadership of a footballer who embodies the Club’s values like few others, both on and off the field.”<\/p>\n

Cazorla who turns 41 in December, scored five goals and registered five assists in 35 games last season. <\/p>\n

A two-time European champion with Spain, the midfielder spent six years at Arsenal and made 180 appearances before leaving in 2018.<\/p>\n

He suffered an Achilles injury in October 2016, going on to have 11 operations to cure the problem.<\/p>\n

One of the operations led to gangrene with doctors telling Cazorla he should be satisfied to walk again, never mind play.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
