Arsenal icon Cazorla has joined Villarreal ahead of the new La Liga season.
The 33-year-old has been given a final stab at getting his career back on track after a series of injuries.
And Cazorla’s unveiling at Spanish side Villarreal may go down as one of the strangest of all time.
Fans packed out a stand in the Estadio de la Ceramica to watch magician Yunke produce Cazorla seemingly out of thin air.
The magician filled a human-sized glass cylinder full of smoke and when the fog cleared there was Cazorla – to the delight of the Villarreal fans.
How the magician achieved the feat no one in the stadium could work out.
Cazorla hung around after the stepping out of the glass cylinder to wave at the crowd and sign autographs.
The ex-Spain international came through the Villarreal youth ranks but left the club for Malaga in 2011.
A year later he signed for Arsenal, where over the proceeding six years he won the FA Cup twice.
Cazorla said: “Today is a very special day for me because I return to what I consider to be my home.
“I am eternally grateful to Villarreal for giving me unconditional support during these two years and always open the doors for me.
“It’s a club that for me is an example and that always does things well despite the difficulties.”
