Mesut Özil has officially confirmed his move from Real Madrid to Arsenal, as communicated by his father and agent on the German website Die Welt. Özil made the decision to leave Real Madrid, anticipating limited playing time following the arrival of Gareth Bale. Arsène Wenger, the manager of Arsenal, has expressed his confidence in Özil, making the London club his new destination.
On the other hand, Senegalese striker Demba Ba, who was in advanced talks to join Arsenal, is likely to be disappointed, as an agreement between Chelsea and Arsenal failed to materialize by the end of the transfer window. Despite interest from German and Italian clubs, Ba is expected to stay at Chelsea until the next winter transfer window. The strained relationship between Ba and Chelsea’s new coach, José Mourinho, contributed to the challenges in finding a new club during this transfer window.
