BREAKING NEWS : Ozil completes Arsenal move

Mesut Ozil has sealed a spectacular €47
million move to Arsenal after signing a
five-year contract.
The Gunners have smashed their transfer
record to land the Germany
international, who underwent the second
part of his medical in Munich on
Monday after agreeing personal terms
with the club.
Goal has learned that Ozil has signed a deal worth around €150,000-a-
week that will run until 2018 after Real Madrid gave the green light to
his departure.
He will comfortably become Arsenal’s highest-paid player as well as the
club’s record signing, after Arsene Wenger sanctioned the first €23m-
plus transfer in their history.
Arsenal were in
advanced discussions
with Real to sign Ozil
before Monday night’s
transfer deadline.
The two clubs agreed a
€47m fee before Ozil’s
representatives began
discussing personal
terms with senior
Arsenal officials.
An agreement was
reached late on Monday
morning before Ozil
underwent medical tests
in Germany, where he
had been based as the
national team prepare
for their forthcoming
World Cup qualifiers.
Arsenal are hoping to sign at least three players on deadline day as they
try to make amends for a frustrating summer of transfer activity at the
club.
Goalkeeper Emiliano Viviano has already had a medical, which he passed
on Monday morning, and has agreed the terms of a season-long loan
from Palermo. Arsenal are also in talks with Chelsea about a season-
long loan move for Demba Ba.
The Gunners have still not abandoned hope of signing Angel Di Maria,
also from Real, for €30m.
The Gunners tabled a bid for Di Maria last week and the offer is still
believed to be on the table. However, the Argentine winger has begun the
season in impressive form and is reluctant to cut his ties with the
Santiago Bernabeu.
