Germany & Werder Bremen Youngster Mesut Ozil Hints At Premier League Move

Mesut Ozil


The 21-year-old emerging star has been a key player for the Germans in South Africa as the team gears for their quarter-final clash with Argentina on Saturday.


While he is focused on the World Cup at the moment, Ozil has just a year left on his current contract with Werder Bremen and hinted that the Premier League and La Liga interest him.

"The World Cup is all that matters at the moment,” Ozil told The Sun.

"When I get back we can think about my future, but for for now it's not something I want to give a lot of thought to. To the top players the Premier League is attractive.

"You look at what Manchester United and Chelsea have achieved over the last five years and you see it would be easy to be successful at two clubs like that.

"I see what Michael Ballack achieved at Chelsea and the quality of players he played with and the temptation becomes obvious.

"Trophies are what matters to me. There are two teams in England always at the top and of course that's attractive. But the same is true for La Liga.

"They're the strongest leagues in the world."

Ozil has been integral to Germany’s success so far in the World Cup and will have to keep playing well if the team is to get past Diego Maradona’s squad on Saturday.
