Arsenal have strengthened their midfield with the acquisition of Spaniard Santi Cazorla from troubled La Liga side Malaga, the latest player from the world and European champions to make the move to the English Premier League.
"Arsenal Football Club is delighted to announce that Spain international Santi Cazorla has joined the club on a long-term contract," Arsenal said on their website (www.arsenal.com) on Tuesday.
Malaga, who are offloading players amid reports their Qatari owner wants to sell up, also confirmed the deal, which Spanish and British media reported was worth around 15 million pounds ($23.42 million).
Cazorla is Arsenal's third major summer signing, joining Lukas Podolski and Olivier Giroud who moved from FC Cologne and Montpellier HSC respectively.
The 27-year-old has made 45 appearances for Spain, including brief cameos at Euro 2012, and will potentially play alongside compatriot Mikel Arteta in the Arsenal midfield.
Cazorla spent most of his career at Villarreal before joining Malaga last season when he helped the Andalusian side qualify for the Champions League for the first time.
