Germany international midfielder Mesut Ozilhas revealed why he joined the English Premier League side Arsenal.
The midfielder joined Arsenal in 2013 after three years at Real Madrid and the 26-year-old has revealed that the club's trademark style of play and the reputation of Arsene Wenger were the reasons he chose to come.
"Before I joined, I knew that Arsenal were always a technically-strong team," Ozil told Arsenal official website.
"That's also why I decided to join this club, because I know exactly what the manager wants from the team.
"Our game centres around playing good, technical football and that's good.
"It's thanks to the manager because he's worked on that for years and has formulated a technically-gifted team that can dominate any opposition.
"That's why we're really pleased to have a manager like him."
After initial difficulties in adapting to the EPL, Ozil has hit form, creating a Premier League-leading 76 chances in 2015, including his assist for Theo Walcott in their 2-0 win over Stoke at the weekend.
