Ozil set to sign new deal as Arsenal move excites Mustafi

Germany defender Shkodran Mustafi has
revealed that Arsenal teammate Mesut Ozil
persuaded him to join the Gunners.
The £35million highly rated 24-year-old
added that Ozil told him he would develop
into a world class player while playing at the
Emirates.
He told Arsenal’s official website: “We were
at the European Championship and we had
time to speak.
“He told me about the club, about the team,
and the things that he told me made me come
here.
“I noticed that it’s a club where I can develop,
where I can grow as a player.
“He said that he’s happy here, that the people
are crazy for football and that it’s a team that
enjoys playing football the way that he does,
the way that I do.”

According to reports, Mustafi’s arrival at the
Emirates could be another reason Ozil would
be extending his stay with the Gunners.
Ozil told Sky Sports: “I have a contract until
2018.

“We have had discussions, but they were
suspended for the European Championship.

“I wanted to focus at this time only on the
national team. Now we look to continue the
negotiations.
“In football, you can never say never. You
don’t know what will happen. I had a good
time in Germany. That was a lot of fun.

“Eventually [moving to MLS] could be an
option. I have fun everywhere. My fans know
that I like to spend my vacation in Los
Angeles, because the city inspires me.”

Another major factor to tie down the 27-
year-old is if Jack Wilshere’s vacant number
10 is given to the midfielder and Ozil has
admitted he was interested in swapping shirt
numbers.
“It just went free, and I definitely want it,” he
said.
Ozil was signed from Real Madrid on transfer
deadline day in 2013 for a £42.4million club
record and has been Arsenal’s most valuable
player in last three years owing to his world
class performances.
