Arsenal's Cazorla implores Casillas to depart Real Madrid

Arsenal midfielder Santi Cazorla believes Iker Casillas should consider leaving Real Madrid.

The 32-year old Spain international goalkeeper is yet to feature for Madrid in La Liga this season with his 11 appearances coming in the Champions League and Copa del Rey.

With the 2014 World Cup approaching, Gunners playmaker Cazorla is of the belief that his La Roja colleague should ponder a possible exit in order to play consistently before the Brazil tournament.

"Casillas should try playing somewhere else," he told beIN Sport.

Cazorla also said it was a great benefit to be playing alongside Casillas' former Real teammate Mesut Ozil who joined the Gunners this past summer.

"I learn from Ozil every day; having him with us at Arsenal is a great opportunity," he added.
