Signing: Mesut Özil

During the final hours of deadline day Arsenal secured a club-record signing of German international Mesut Özil. The 24-year-old midfielder allegedly left Real Madrid for no less than £42,2 million pounds. It is reported to be a five-year-deal, and hopefully one that will bring much joy and fortune! It will be exciting, to say the least, to see what our new no. 11 can accomplish in the Arsenal shirt!
