Arsene Wenger: 'Everyone at Arsenal respects Santi Cazorla'

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has insisted that midfielder Santi Cazorla has slotted well into the North London side.

The 27-year-old, who moved to the Emirates this summer, has made a positive impact at the Gunners and Wenger expects the playmaker to go from strength to strength.

"Cazorla has gained the respect of everybody very quickly," said Wenger. "Cazorla is humble, he loves the game and that is what you want from every football player.

"They talk on the pitch, don't need to speak too much, just go on the pitch and show what you can do. That is what he does.

"He loves the game, loves to play with his partners and that is the best way to gain respect from everybody."

Cazorla spent a year at Malaga before moving to the Premier League side.
