Cazorla says Casillas has asked about life in England.
Real Madrid captain Iker Casillas could be on his way to England this summer as Arsenal star Santi Cazorla reveals he has spoken to the goalkeeper about a move.
Casillas has had to endure spending much of this current season on the bench, as Los Blancos head coach Carlo Ancelotti has preferred Diego Lopez between the sticks in La Liga.
This has restricted the Spain skipper to appearances only in cup competitions and therefore the 32-year-old is looking into the possibility of leaving the Estadio Santiago Bernabeu.
Cazorla says that he has had conversations with his national team-mate about playing in the Premier League and what it’s like to be with the Gunners.
“I’ve told him I would like him to join Arsenal, but so far he has just been curious about my experience in England,” the 29-year-old was quoted by the Telegraph.
“His situation is very complicated, but he has to make a decision.
“Lots of clubs want him, including Arsenal, but I think that it would be very difficult to leave Real Madrid because of what the club represents.
“He knows what he has [at Madrid] and what he could find at another club.”
Casillas has been a stalwart at Madrid ever since breaking into the first team way back in 1999 and since then has played 671 times for the Spanish giants.
The stopper also has more international caps for the Spanish team than any other player in history with 152, captaining them to successive European Championships and a maiden World Cup in the last few years.
