Germany head-coach Joachim Low has revealed that he is surprised at the decision made by Real Madrid to sell Mesut Ozil to Arsenal and he has labelled the transfer as “incomprehensible”.
The Gunners completed the deal on transfer deadline day for a record club fee of £42.5million and the move took a lot of people by surprise.
Players at Arsenal have already spoken out about their delight after the club finally managed to sign a world-class player, but Ozil’s national coach is surprised at the decision.
“For me, it’s incomprehensible that Real would sell one of their top scorers,” Low said.
“Many Real players like Sami Khedira or Cristiano Ronaldo are sad about the transfer.”
He then added: “Mesut is a sensitive player and he needs the faith from the club and the coach.
“It seems that was no longer 100% there at Real whereas Arsenal and their coach Arsene Wenger pulled out all the stops to get him.
“He has a top coach there and, with Lukas Podolski and Per Mertesacker, he has two German colleagues. Arsenal are a strong team who play technically high-quality football.”
