Santi Cazorla has agreed terms on a return to Spain with Atletico Madrid, according to reports on Spanish radio.
Cazorla captained Arsenal for Sunday's FA Cup tie with Middlesbrough at the Emirates Stadium, and has been in his best form since arriving in London back in 2012.
But radio station Cadena Cope has reported that Atleti are already discussing a possible summer move with Arsenal, and that the midfielder has agreed his personal terms.
The 30-year-old began his career with Villarreal, where he caught the eye of oil-back Malaga back in 2011.
He joined Arsenal after just one season on the Costa del Sol, and has established himself as a fans' favourite in north London.
The Gunners have been linked with a Bosman move for James Milner, while the emergence of Francis Coquelin could mean excessive competition for places in the Arsenal squad.
