Arsenal player, Mesut Ozil has gotten a rare appraisal from fellow teammate, Jack Wilshere who described his arrival at the Emirate two years ago as a massive lift for the club. He told the club’s website that it was hard to believe that manager, Arsene Wenger had managed to sign the German. 

” I watched Ozil for years. He started off young and went to a big club like Real Madrid. I think we knew what sort of player Mesut was. His history as a player and the clubs he has played for… to bring him in to play with us was massive,” 

“I remember watching (the TV on) transfer deadline day and seeing that Arsenal were interested in Mesut Ozil, and you almost didn’t believe it. When he arrived, the players were buzzing and the fans were buzzing and I think that gave us all a massive lift.

“I remember watching him a few times and thinking that this player really understands football. You can tell he really understands football and to play alongside him is something special.”
