Cazorla Hints At Exit If Arsenal Fail To Win Trophies

Arsenal star Santi Cazorla has revealed that he is desperate to win trophies, leaving the door open to a move away should he continue to miss out on trophies at the Emirates Stadium.

Arsene Wenger´s side are currently fourth in the Premier League table while they were also knock out by Bayern Munich in the Champions League last 16.

However, the Gunners still have the chance to putting an end to a nine-year trophy drought by winning the FA Cup, as they face Wigan in the semi-final on Saturday.

But asked in an interview with Sport360 whether he will consider an exit if titles keep eluding Arsenal, Cazorla said: "I want titles and that is why I came to Arsenal.

"Every football player wants to win titles. We've gone many years without winning one. And if not, what I'll look for in my next destination is to have the chance to win," he added.

"I don't want to close doors, but nowadays I've a contract with Arsenal for two more seasons. When I'm turning 31 I'll evaluate my position and I'll choose the best option. In which case, I would be delighted to come back [to Spain]."

The Spanish playmaker believes the Bayern Munich defeat in the Champions League was a big shock for the squad, leaving them without the confidence needed to succeed in the last part of the season.

"We've been unlucky in several games. We had a lot of chances to win against Manchester United and there was Ozil's penalty against Bayern. We couldn't recover after going out against Bayern in the Champions League.

"And the defeat against Stoke finished us. You can't lose against Stoke if you aspire to be the next champion. We haven't got a winning mentality and we have to believe in ourselves [more]. Sometimes you can get used to not fighting, but we can't do that. Arsenal is and will always be a historic football club, we have to look forward."

And the Spaniard urges Wenger to make some new additions in summer to bolster the squad and put his team back into contention for the big prizes.

"Arsenal has everything to win. History, infrastructure, an incredible stadium and great players. But we have to improve at crucial moments and sign the best football players because if you don't do that, you may lag behind others.

"That is what makes it different at other clubs. You've a good example in Manchester City who signed Fernandiho, (Alvaro) Negredo... or even Manchester United with (Robin) Van Persie and (Juan) Mata. Arsenal know what they need next season, but it's almost impossible to win a title if we haven't got these kind of things."

And asked about Ozil´s struggling time at Arsenal, Cazorla said: "He has come at a difficult time.

"When he arrived in London, he did an extraordinary job and people demanded his best level every match. But when he decreased his performance, the team suffered.

"Besides, I read a lot of articles about Ozil in Spain that affected him. We need to give him confidence and to show affection."
