Arsenal to welcome back Wenger, Cazorla for Emirates Cup

Arsenal are set to welcome back former manager Arsene Wenger and Santi Cazorla for farewell match during this summer's Emirates Cup.

The Daily Mail says Wenger has already been contacted about the possibility of making his first official attendance at the Emirates since his 22-year reign came to an end in 2018.

Likewise, head of football operations Raul Sanllehi told a supporters forum last week that the club want to give former playmaker Cazorla, whose career at Arsenal was ravaged by injury, a opportunity to say a proper goodbye fans and there are hopes to host his current club Villarreal for a pre-season friendly.

The annual Emirates Cup would provide an opportunity to face Villarreal but with Arsenal unsure of whether they may have to play in European qualifiers in the summer, the club are yet to cement their pre-season plans.
