The Gunners stole the limelight on Transfer Deadline Day as they swooped for Ozil from Real Madrid and completed a jaw dropping £42.4 million transfer. This switch made him Arsenal’s most expensive player ever by a massive distance.

The club’s fans were truly ecstatic with the arrival of a world class talent, and are optimistic to see more big players of Ozil’s caliber arrive at the Emirates Stadium in the coming future.

ESPNFC report that the German international spoke to the club in an in-depth interview and spoke about the reasons which convinced him to quit the all whites of Real Madrid for life in London with Arsenal. He confessed that manager Arsene Wenger and his reputation of nurturing raw talents into world beaters was one of the most vital reasons behind his transfer.

He also put his belief in Arsenal’s title chances this season and says that the young Arsenal team can go all the way this time around, while maintaining that he wants to do all he can to help the Gunners win that first elusive trophy in so many years.

Ozil said, “In the last few years, Arsenal haven’t been so successful, but we want to become more successful and we want to win trophies,”

“I think the fans are looking forward to that too. We have a very strong and a very young team that can improve a lot under the manager.”

“I think we will win trophies because we have the potential to do this.”

“I’m really looking forward to the challenge, life in London and meeting my team-mates, the manager and the fans, as well as the Premier League. I’m really excited. It’s a perfect decision for me and I’m looking forward to it all.”

With Ozil clearly excited to hit the ground running at his new club, do you think that this big money signing is exactly what Arsenal need? Will he fire the Gunners to glory come the end of the season to repay each and every penny which Wenger spent on him?
