Real Madrid sign Mesut Özil from Werder Bremen
Real Madrid have completed the signing of highly rated German international midfielder Mesut Özil from Werder Bremen.
The 21-year-old was one of the stars of the 2010 World Cup, where he was nominated for the Player of the Tournament award, and had been linked with a move to a number of top clubs in Europe this summer including Manchester United and Chelsea.
However, Real have confirmed on their website this afternoon that the former Schalke 04 star has followed his compatriot Sami Khedira to the Bernabéu, where he will link up with new boss José Mourinho.
A former winner of the European under-21 Championships, Özil has 17 caps for his country’s senior side and has scored two goals, including the winner against Ghana in the group stages of the World Cup.
