# Arsenal: Fans pouring their hearts out after comments made by Santi Cazorla

**Arsenal fans have been pouring their hearts out by comments made by former midfielder Santi Cazorla on his exit from the club.**

The Spain international talked about how he didn’t realise he was at a ‘big club’ like Arsenal until he left for Villarreal [(via Independent)](https://www.independent.co.uk/sport/football/international/santi-cazorla-interview-arsenal-fc-news-villarreal-spain-vs-malta-euro-2020-a9202596.html).

Cazorla left the Emirates Stadium in heartbreaking fashion after having 10 operations to fix numerous problems, leaving him out of action for 636 days [(via The Guardian)](https://www.theguardian.com/football/2018/sep/07/santi-cazorla-villarreal-injury-arsenal-interview-sid-lowe).

The diminutive Spaniard was a regular in the Gunners side prior to his injury, making 180 appearances and winning two FA Cups and two Community Shields during his spell in north London [(via Transfermarkt)](https://www.transfermarkt.co.uk/santi-cazorla/leistungsdaten/spieler/15799).

Cazorla was full of praise for the fans following his exit from the club, claiming the love he received while at the Emirates Stadium is ‘incomparable’ [(via Sports Illustrated)](https://www.si.com/soccer/2019/10/30/santi-cazorla-villarreal-comeback-injury-spain-arsenal)

Fans were left pouring their hearts out following the comments from the midfielder as they took to Twitter to react.

Here is a selection of tweets from the north London faithful:

> Cazorla’s a generational baller. Will never see anyone like him again.
