| Jack Wilshere was left buzzing by the signing of Mesut Ozil |
JACK WILSHERE has admitted he almost couldn't believe it when Arsenal signed Mesut Ozil from Real Madrid in 2013.
The German international was a marquee signing for the Gunners, with Arsene Wenger shrugging off his frugal shackles to spend £42.5million on the midfielder.
And Wilshere has revealed he was left 'buzzing' as he watched the transfer unfold on deadline day.
"I think we knew what sort of player Mesut was, his history as a player and the clubs he has played for... to bring him in to play with us was massive," he said.
"I remember watching transfer deadline day and seeing that Arsenal were interested in Mesut Ozil, and you almost didn't believe it.
"When he arrived the players were buzzing and the fans were buzzing and I think that gave us all a massive lift.
"I watched him for a few years, he was another player who started off young and went to a big club like Real Madrid.
"I remember watching him a few times and thinking that this player really understands football.
"You can tell he really understands football and to play alongside him is something special."
