Former Arsenal star Santi Cazorla is heading for a summer transfer to a second-division Spanish team.

The 38-year-old has been with Al Sadd in Qatar for the past two and a half years.

Now it appears he is ready for a return to his homeland, according to AS in Spain.

Cazorla will head to his boyhood club Real Oviedo, where he played in the youth team before signing for Villarreal in 2003.

Cazorla is a cult hero at Arsenal, having won the FA Cup twice during his time in North London.

The midfielder wants to play for his old club Oviedo before he retires.
