Arsenal midfielder Santi Cazorla, has admitted that he might leave the club when his contract ends, if their trophy drought continues.

In a new interview with Sport 360, the 29-year-old playmaker also said his team-mates lack a winning mentality and pleaded with manager Arsene Wenger to sign new players this summer.

With Arsenal hoping to take a step closer to the first piece of silverware in nine years when facing Wigan in Saturday’s FA Cup semi-final at Wembley, the midfielder said: “I want titles and that is why I came to Arsenal.


“Every player wants to win titles. We’ve gone many years without winning one. And if not, what I’ll look for in my next destination is to have the chance to win.

“I don’t want to close doors but I’ve a contract with Arsenal for three more seasons. When I’m turning 31 I’ll evaluate myself and I’ll choose the best option. In which case, I would be delighted to come back [to Spain].

“We’ve been unlucky in several games. We had a lot of chances to win against Manchester United and there was Ozil’s penalty [against Bayern].

“We couldn’t recover after going out against Bayern in the Champions League. And the defeat against Stoke finished us. You can’t lose against Stoke if you aspire to be the next champion.

“We haven’t got a winning mentality and we have to believe in ourselves [more]. Sometimes you can get used to not fighting but we can’t do that. Arsenal is and will always be a historic football club, we have to look forward. Arsenal has everything to win — history, infrastructure, an incredible stadium and great players.


“But we have to improve at crucial moments and sign the best football players because if you don’t do that, you may lag behind others.

“That is what makes it different at other clubs. You’ve a good example in Manchester City, who signed Fernandinho, [Alvaro] Negredo… or even Manchester United with [Robin] Van Persie and [Juan] Mata. Arsenal know what they need next season but it’s almost impossible to win a title if we haven’t got these kind of things.”

Cazorla joined the Gunners from Malaga in 2012 and has three years left on his deal.
