The little magician who always glided one step ahead has started to fall behind on his work. Santi Cazorla's to-do list is growing by the day.
For years, the midfielder has put off a return trip to London and a couple of old haunts: Arsenal's Emirates Stadium and Novikov restaurant in Mayfair.
More recently, friends have offered rave reviews of All Or Nothing, the documentary detailing life at his former club. Still, though, he has yet to watch a minute.
Even now, Cazorla is delaying his decision over what comes next.
