Santi Cazorla was given an unusual unveiling by Real Oviedo

The 38-year-old has signed for his boyhood club

The announcement mirrored a classic scene from Lord of the Rings

Cazorla, 38, is a passionate Oviedo fan – but left to join Villarreal before ever playing a first team game for them.

Labelled a “magician” by fans – Cazorla’s announcement fittingly mirrored a classic Lord of the Rings scene.

Cazorla played the part of Gandalf, sitting in a wizard’s hat atop a cart covered in Arsenal and Villarreal jerseys.

The midfielder significantly reduced his salary to play for his favorite side.

While playing for Al Sadd, Cazorla reportedly made over £1.3 million annually.

It is now asserted that he agreed to sign with Oviedo for the league minimum of £132,500.

In addition to this, Relevo claim that Cazorla has agreed to sacrifice his image rights.

Ten per cent of Cazorla shirt sales will be invested into Oviedo’s youth academy.

He has signed a one-year deal with the Spanish second tier club.

Cazorla joined Arsenal from Malaga in 2012, having spent one season at La Rosaleda following a switch from Villarreal.

He played 180 times throughout his six seasons in North London, scoring 29 goals and setting up 45 more while also winning two FA Cups.

The well-liked star returned to Villarreal after leaving Arsenal, where he was given a warm welcome.

On the El Madrigal pitch, Cazorla emerged from a glass tube filled with smoke.

After making a comeback, he spent two seasons playing for Villarreal before joining Xavi and his former Spain teammate at Al Sadd.

A position in his backroom staff was reportedly given to the former La Roja star by Xavi at Barcelona.

But he has decided to keep playing for Oviedo.
