Santi Cazorla has revealed his excitement about his future with Arsenal ahead of the new Premier League season.

After reports earlier this year had linked him with a return to Spain, Cazorla ended speculation by signing a new deal with the Gunners last week.

The 30-year-old has won two FA Cups during his time in North London, and he is certain that he is in the best place to achieve more success as Arsene Wenger's side look to close the gap on Premier League champions Chelsea.

"I'm very happy to sign a new contract with the club," he told the club's website. "I think this is the best moment in my career and the best club for me, and for the future. I'm very happy and I want to try to help the team get more trophies.

"Here I have everything. I have confidence, I have a good team full of good players and I think this is the best option for me. It's an easy decision to continue to play for Arsenal.

"Every year we have a better team and we sign some good players every summer, like Mesut [Ozil], like Alexis [Sanchez], like Petr Cech now, and this is important for me and the club. Of course we want to improve every year."

Arsenal start the new campaign by hosting West Ham United on Sunday.
