Arsenal ready to make stunning £20 million bid for World Cup sensation
Posted by Cathal Breathnach on July 7, 2010 | 15 Comments
Before the World Cup started last month, not many had ever seen the fella on the right play football but just three weeks later and Mesut Ozil is now a household name around the world.
The German midfielder has been, without doubt, one of, if not the, player of the tournament in South Africa and there are reports today claiming Arsenal are ready to make a £20 million bid to bring the Werder Bremen man to the Emirates. (Daily Star)
Over the past few days and weeks Ozil has been linked with a whole host of clubs including Barcelona, Manchester City, Chelsea and of course Arsenal and before the World Cup even began, there was talk that Real Madrid and Juventus were also interested in the 21-year old.
Arsene Wenger, as we all know, is keen to bolster his squad before the new Premier League season kicks-off in about a months time and Ozil is now seen as a possible addition. With Barcelona still deserperate to sign Arsenal captain Cesc Fabregas, Wenger knows he may still have to replace the Spanish midfielder and Ozil could be the man to fill his shoes.
Like many others, I have been impressed by Ozil throughout this World Cup. He has a great footballing brain and there is no doubt that he has a huge future ahead of him. Personally, I would like to see how he would cope with life in the Premier League and I’m sure he would be a welcome signing for the Arsenal fans. Having said that, I would be surprised if Bremen were willing to sell their most prized asset for the rumoured £20 million.
Feel free to leave your comments below.
Arsenal will be involved in the Emirates Cup, so why not buy some Emirates Cup tickets now. Another competition the Gunners will be involved in next season is the FA Cup and here is a great place to buy your FA Cup tickets.

Your website looks nice… the story’s nonsense though. Complete fiction – would love him at Arsenal… Ain’t gonna happen!

Paul – First of all, really appreciate the nice comment about the site. And about Ozil, I wouldn’t rule it out to be honest. Wenger has admired him for a long time and if you believe the reports, he has money to spend this summer so you never know!

Utter rubbish.
Like matey says. If you want to have a blog that actually is taken seriously, dont put this kind of bullshit on there. Its blatent hit-seeking bollocks.

In fairness Tom, it was in today’s Daily Star so I didn’t just make it up myself.
July 7th, 2010 @ 5:10 PM
Yeah, but you’ve reported on blatent bollocks havent you.
There’s no justifying it, its hit-seeking purile bullshit. Nothing more nothing less.

Ok Tom, whatever you say.

i read this story a few times today already.ozil is without a doubt one of the best young players in europe and is having a great wc but i can’t see him coming to arsenal,i’d love it but can’t see it happening.wenger has the money we heard but he’s not the type to spend 20 millions in just 1 player.thanx for the dream anyway paul

It’s a rumor, nothing more. First if all Bremen are not willing to let him go so if he does leave this summer it will be for a higher fee. Also you know damn well that arsene ain’t gonna spend 20million on one player, it’s a fact.

sorry i meant cathal….
July 7th, 2010 @ 6:44 PM
Can’t see our mana—Whoops! sorry bank manager laying out that kind of lolly. He needs to buy top quality from now on as the others are coming up fast on the rails and we don’t wanna become also rans where Europe is concerned or dare I say it to the Spuds UGH!!!!!!

dude would be awsum if this came true…
then u would be the first one to revele this

I know it is unlikely we will sign but it has been in the papers and Wenger has been watchin the player for a while so fingers crossed this could happen and as for not spending money on 1 player he did with arshavin and nasri so lets never say never!
July 7th, 2010 @ 9:56 PM
It wil b veri great if wenger can sign such a player
July 8th, 2010 @ 4:44 PM
why are we emphasizing on this issue? why dont Wenger spend money and win the boys Signeture b4 the big time spender Man city gets him? or does it mean that Wenger dont want to spend such money on him? well as far as Arsenal is concern, the bottom line remains that Is either we buy a Mildfielder like Fabregas who will assist him in the mildfield if he stays in arsenal or one who will replace him if he moves to Barcelona.
