July 2 : Former Arsenal and Spain midfielder Santi Cazorla announced his retirement from football on Thursday at the age of 41.
“I never stopped trying. And in the end, I came back. Not to close a chapter but to feel it all again, to remember why I started,” he said on X.
“And now, when the lights go down, when the boots are hung up and the noise fades into silence, everything falls into place. Because the ending wasn’t just anywhere; it was at home”
• Cazorla called time on his 23-year playing career after spending his final season with his boyhood club Real Oviedo, having helped them earn promotion to LaLiga the previous year and end a 24-year absence from Spain’s top flight.
