Mesut Ozil to Arsenal is a done deal (at least verbally)
From Sportsmail's John Edwards: 'It’s a done deal for Arsenal in their pursuit of Mesut Ozil – or at least verbally, it is. Sportsmail can reveal that Arsenal have spoken directly to Ozil by telephone and reached an agreement over a lucrative contract, believed to be for five years.
'It will make the Real Madrid midfielder the best paid player on Arsenal’s books, while the £40million-plus fee will be a new club record.
'Ozil has had a medical in Munich under the auspices of Bayern and Germany team doctor Hans Muller-Wolfhart, as revealed earlier in Sportsmail, and now just needs to put pen to paper to become an Arsenal player and finally end Arsene Wenger’s quest for a major signing.'
