Santi Cazorla: When Arsenal hero proved he's the most two-footed player in PL history

Santi Cazorla truly is a wonderfully gifted footballer.

The diminutive Spaniard is an absolute wizard with the ball at his feet and was electric for much of his time at Arsenal.

Cazorla joined the north London outfit from Villarreal in the summer of 2012 and hit the ground running.

In his first full Premier League campaign, the 37-year-old finished with 12 goals and as many assists from 38 appearances.

But fans of the English game will always have fond memories of Cazorla, his superhuman-like ambidexterity in particular.

The little genius is one of the most two-footed players the sport of football has ever seen and in 2016, he made that clear for everyone to see.

In a Premier League match away at Watford, Cazorla stepped up to take a corner with his ‘stronger’ right foot, but his teammate Laurent Koscielny felt an inswinging delivery would be better suited to the situation.

So instead of swapping takers, Cazorla simply adjusted his position and whipped the ball into the box with his left peg.
