Arsenal Midfielder Joins Puma Roster

Puma has signed a new long-term partnership with Arsenal’s creative midfielder Santi Cazorla, which will see the Spanish international sport the brand’s evoSPEED football boots on pitch this weekend, joining a portfolio of evoSPEED players including Sergio Agüero, Radamel Falcao and teammate Olivier Giroud. 

Santi Cazorla will join Puma’s global football ‘Nature of Performance’ communication programme. 

The Spaniard enjoyed an impressive first season at Arsenal last year, which led to him being voted the player of the season at the North London club.

Cazorla said of the deal: ‘Signing this new partnership with PUMA is an exciting step for me.  I like the people, their ideas for football and I am impressed with their product development. The evoSPEED boots I have chosen to wear are very light and give me a freedom and quickness of movement, which is very important for me to perform at my best. I am pleased the new season is underway and hope I can help my club and national team enjoy a successful year, and I am looking forward to working with Puma.’

Christian Voigt, senior head of global sports marketing at Puma commented: ‘Santi Cazorla is such an exciting player to watch.  His awareness of what is going on around him, technical ability and quickness of thought make him a very influential creative midfield player, and he is a wonderful asset for our evoSPEED product silo. We’re very happy to have him as part of our Puma football family.’ 

The evoSPEED 1.2 boot that Cazorla will wear is Puma’s latest performance football boot, which uses light materials in combination with an internal midfoot support cage (EverFit cage) to maintain a good fit.
