Now that Arsenal have brought in their marquee signing for the summer, what can Gunners and English Premier League fans expect from the diminutive Spanish international?
Well for starters, Cazorla is yet another typically Spanish midfielder - which Spain seems to produce by the dozen nowadays - with oodles of technical ability and that vision on a football pitch which cannot be taught.
The 27-year-old - again like all the other Spanish midfielders - is hardly a physical presence, standing at 5ft 6in, but the lack of size is made up for ability and he is considered by the majority in the La Liga to be the best player in the league, outside Barcelona and Real Madrid.
Do not look at the statistics and be worried about the lack of goals or assists, Cazorla has only played in decent teams in his entire career, and has not been able to make the step up to a truly big club. He was the pivotal player at Villarreal and was the major factor behind Malaga finishing fourth last season, with the Yellow Submarine, of course, missing his creative talents, and sadly falling prey to relegation last season.
Cazorla's signing is catching so much attention that even Robin Van Persie - yes indeed the wantaway Arsenal captain - is reportedly considering his options. If there ever was a player on his way to Arsenal, tailor-made for Arsene Wenger's attacking style - it is Cazorla.
The 27-year-old has the capabilities of playing as a winger or as the player behind the striker, in the creative attacking midfielder role, so missed last season after Cesc Fabregas' departure.
Arsenal sorely lacked a creative presence capable of scoring 10-15 goals a season, as well as laying it on a plate for the attackers; something that was taken up by Arsenal's 'defensive' midfielder Alex Song for the most part last in the Gunners' up and down campaign.
If Nuri Sahin also arrives at the Emirates, Arsenal will undoubtedly have their strongest squad in nearly a decade. What Wenger realized after last season is the importance of having a deep squad, so necessary over a long-drawn out season, where the club easily plays over 60 matches.
If Cazorla and Sahin join the Gunners, it will leave Wenger with an embarrassment of riches. The Frenchman will have the option to choose between Lukas Podolski, Olivier Giroud and Robin Van Persie - if he stays - as Arsenal's central striker. Podolski can also double up as a left-sided forward in a 4-3-3 or a 4-2-3-1, with Theo Walcott, Gervinho, Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain, Andrey Arshavin, the other wide players. Cazorla can play on either wings and, if pre-season is anything to go by, Oxlade-Chamberlain might just be used by Wenger as a central midfielder next season.
Either ways, that's two players that give you options to play wide or through the middle. Add Aaron Ramsey and Thomas Rosicky to play in the centre, Wenger will be spoilt for choice. With Jack Wilshere, when he returns, Abou Diaby, if he stays fit, Nuri Sahin, if he signs, Mikel Arteta and Alex Song, the deep lying playmaking department is also plenty covered. With the Gunners reportedly tabling a bid for Celtic defensive midfielder Victor Wanyama, it will add further steel and protect the back four of the Gunners.
Arsenal, after a long time also have a settle central defensive line-up with Thomas Vermaelen and Laurent Koscielny expected to be the first choice defensive partnership and Per Mertesacker and Johan Djourou acting as back up.
So there it is; Cazorla could be the catalyst for Arsenal to finally break their seven-year drought and herald a new trophy-winning era at Arsenal; and to think Wenger might not have been determined to make a statement in the transfer market if Van Persie had not made his personal statement.
Who knows, it could all have been a ploy after all!
