Joachim Low puzzled over Real Madrid's decision to sell Mesut Ozil

Can Ozil bring an end to Gunners’ trophy-laden run?

German international coach Joachim Low has denunciated Real Madrid for selling Mesut Ozil to Arsenal. Criticizing Real for selling one of their best players, Low finds it hard to make a sense out of the deadline day transfer.

Arsene Wenger finally made the much-awaited big money signing, touted as the signing of the summer by many pundits, by bringing Mesut Ozil from Real Madrid to the Emirates for a transfer fee of £42.5 million.

However, Low thinks that the 24-year-old, in whom Real Madrid’s new boss Carlo Ancelotti does not have faith in, will only stand to benefit in a more appreciative atmosphere under Arsene Wenger.

Low was quoted as saying by The Guardian: “Many Real players like Sami Khedira or Cristiano Ronaldo are sad about the transfer. For me, it’s incomprehensible that Real would sell one of their top scorers.

“Mesut is a sensitive player and he needs the faith from the club and the coach. It seems that was not longer 100% there at Real whereas Arsenal and their coach Arsène 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.”

Low believes all that matters is that Ozil is now in good spirits and it augurs well for Germany’s World Cup qualifier against Austria on Friday night.
