Mesut Ozil has sealed a spectacular €47 million move to Arsenal after signing a five-year contract.
The Gunners have smashed their transfer record to land the Germany international, who underwent the second part of his medical in Munich yesterday after agreeing personal terms with the club.
According to football website goal.com, Ozil has signed a deal worth around €150,000-a-week that will run until 2018 after Real Madrid gave the green light to his departure.
He will comfortably become Arsenal’s highest-paid player as well as the club’s record signing, after Arsene Wenger sanctioned the first €23m-plus transfer in their history.
On a busy day of transfers to beat last night’s deadline, Brazilian midfielder Kaka completed a return to AC Milan on a two-year contract after the Serie A side agreed a deal with Real Madrid.
"Done deal", Milan's managing director, Adriano Galliani, announced on the club's website.
According to the Italian press, Real allowed the 31-year-old to return to his former club on a free transfer, having paid €65 million to bring Kaka to Madrid in 2009.
