The 24-year-old has signed a contract to
complete a €47 million move to the Emirates
Stadium and the France international is
confident that the German will adapt well
Arsenal defender Laurent Koscielny has praised
the club's capture of Real Madrid playmaker
Mesut Ozil in a deal worth €47 million.
Goal understands that the transfer has been
completed, with the Germany international
signing a deal worth €150,000-a-week that will
run until 2018.
Koscielny is excited by the impending arrival of
Ozil and believes that the deal, which will
smash Arsenal's previous record fee, is a sign
of the club's ambition.
"We talk about Mesut Ozil, we'll see, this is a
world-class player, a technical player who can
adapt to Arsenal," the centre-back told
reporters ahead of France's upcoming World
Cup qualifiers against Georgia and Belarus.
"The coach has been criticised by fans. We
know that the club have money for transfers
but then there's the desire of players to come
to Arsenal or not.
"Clubs discuss them and make decisions. It is
difficult in the transactions but I have
confidence in this group, we'll see if new
players arrive."
Ozil has collected 47 caps for the Germany
national team and, in his three years at Real
Madrid, scored or assisted 108 goals in 157
appearances in all competitions.
