Arsenal playmaker, Mesut Ozil, has explained why he decided to put pen to paper on a new Arsenal deal.
Ozil’s previous contract was set to expire in June, but he has now signed an extension until 2021.
The new £300,000-a-week deal makes him the second best-paid footballer in England.
Ozil tweeted: “#YaGunnersYa … ooh yaa! Proud to announce: I signed dat thing… 3 more years with Arsenal! Mesut Ozil finally announces new Arsenal deal with nod to former forward Theo Walcott
“It’s been one of the most important decisions of my footballing career and that’s why I had to think hard and talk with everyone who’s important to me.
“Good things take time! In the end I let my heart decide.
“As I always said, I feel at home here and I’m highly motivated to achieve big things in the next few years. Once a Gunner, always a Gunner!”
