Former Arsenal midfielder, Santi Carzola, has agreed to leave his boyhood side, Villareal at the end of the current LaLiga football season.

The club confirmed that alongside Carzola, fellow long-serving midfielder Bruno Soriano will play his last in the club's final La Liga game of the season at home to Eibar on Sunday.

"It will make it extra special, being here until the last moment with Bruno after we shared practically everything in this club," said Cazorla in a joint interview with Bruno on the club's social media accounts on Saturday.

Captain, Bruno, announced his retirement due to a series of injuries that left him out for three years, having spent his entire career with Villarreal. He only returned to football last month.

Similarly, Carzola also began his career with the club, spending nine seasons there in between spells at Recreativo Huelva, Malaga and Arsenal, and returning in 2018 after a series of ankle problems.

Spanish media reported the 35-year-old Spain international is off to Qatari side Al Sadd, coached by former Barcelona and Spain midfielder Xavi Hernandez.
