Arsenal midfielder Santi Cazorla has said that he finds the Premier League "fascinating".

The Spain international joined the Gunners from Malaga last summer and has been in impressive form this season.

"It's a really great experience which I'm finding fascinating," he told FIFA.com. "I've settled quickly and I've had a lot of help from my teammates and others. The fans here are incredible.

"Here you usually get more games that go end-to-end, and in matches like those it's harder to close down spaces like they do in Spain or Italy.

"That makes it easier for central midfielders to play. I like the tempo of the game over here."

Cazorla played for Villarreal and Recreativo de Huelva in Spain before joining Malaga in 2011.
