The German international has been tipped to be a big hit in north London.
Former Chelsea midfielder Michael Ballack is confident Mesut Ozil will be a huge success at Arsenal.
The Gunners broke their transfer record to sign Ozil from Real Madrid for £42.5 million before the transfer deadline snapped shut on Monday, as Arsene Wenger provided the big-money signing supporters have craved after all summer.
And former Germany midfielder Ballack has tipped his compatriot to be a huge hit in the Premier League and believes the 24-year-old will slot seamlessly in to the English game.
“Mesut is a young player and at his peak,” Ballack told the London24. “He is an outstanding player, who joined a new club, I don’t think it’s a problem (being nervous about playing in England).”
Ballack admits he can’t wait for Ozil’s debut in an Arsenal shirt and believes he will be a huge asset to the game in England.
“Arsenal is a great club and paid a lot of money for him,” he added. “That proves his exceptional standing on international level, this amount is not common.
“I really hope everything works well for him, he will be an addition to the league especially with his technical skills and pace with the ball.”
