Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger has hailed midfielder Santi Cazorla for his impressive start to the Premier League season.
The Spain international joined the Gunners from Malaga in the summer and has already settled into life in the English top flight.
"Cazorla is a player who is just a pleasure to watch," Wenger told Arsenal's official website. "You want him to have the ball.
"He typifies what Spain's midfielders are today - he is technically perfect, he has great vision and a great team attitude.
"We did fight with Malaga at the time [to get him in the summer] and they were in Spain, they were quick to do the deal. But we remained on the ball, we were quite advanced with him last season."
Cazorla won Euro 2008 and Euro 2012 with Spain.
