Mesut Ozil shirt number announced

Arsenal's record signing Mesut Ozil has been given the number 11 shirt after his deadline day move to the Gunners. His preferred number 8 is currently occupied by the injured Mikel Arteta.

Arsene Wenger's sweet talk managed to fend off PSG to land the German international after a bigger bid said to be worth 150,000 euros/week was submitted by the french champions. However, it is also said that Real and Arsenal had agreed a deal with each other, subject of Gareth Bale's move to the Madrid side.

Ozil was in Germany to film a commercial for the national team when the 40m bid from Arsenal was submitted to Real Madrid. The German national team doctor gave the player a medical to finalise his switch to the English Premier League.
