Cazorla recorded four goals and eight assists in 31 appearances for Arsenal during the 2013-2014 Premier League season.

Cazorla's statistical output dipped from the 12 goals and 11 assists he notched as a Premiership debutant last season, but the Spaniard maintained a strong creative influence in attack nonetheless. Following the addition of central midfielder Mesut Ozil, Cazorla was mostly deployed as a winger, which limited his influence to some extent. However, Cazorla still ranked second on the Gunners with 73 shots attempts this season, showing his eye for goal. He also tied for second-place on the team in assists. While offseason additions and the return of injured players could impact his playing time slightly next season, Cazorla will likely remain a threatening fantasy option.

Cazorla picked up an assist in Tuesday's 3-1 win over West Ham.

Cazorla now has four goals and five assists this season, a pretty good drop off from the 12 goals and 11 assists he posted in Premier League play last season (albeit in 10 more games).

Cazorla officially signed a contract extension with Arsenal, the club's official site reports.

Cazorla has been in fine form this season, and will be heavily relied upon in the short term, with Mesut Ozil (hamstring), Jack Wilshere (ankle), and Aaron Ramsey (thigh) all sidelined with injuries.

Although Cazorla is dealing with an undisclosed illness, he played the final 21 minutes in Sunday's FA Cup victory over Liverpool.

Cazorla didn't factor in the scoring, though he was active in a handful of sequences. In any event, he doesn't appear any worse for wear.

Cazorla will be out of action Sunday against Liverpool due to illness, according to the Daily Mail.

Cazorla is recovering from the illness in bed, and Arsenal has not yet set a return date for the midfielder.

Cazorla picked up an assist in Sunday's 2-0 victory over Crystal Palace, setting up Alex Oxlade-Chamberlain's first of two goals.

Make it four goals and an assist for Cazorla over the past six starts. The Gunners aren't exactly scorching the nets of late - they haven't hit the three-goal mark since late December - but Cazorla's been a factor more often than not.

Cazorla's left-footed strike in the 52nd minute helped Arsenal to a 2-2 draw at Southampton on Tuesday.

Cazorla now has five markers in five matches; he's been as reliable as anyone on the squad for the last three weeks.
