Arsenal star, Mesut Ozil, has explained why he took so long to sign a new contract with the club amid rumours he was a transfer target for Manchester United.
The 29-year-old has been one of the Gunners’ most important players since joining the club from Real Madrid back in 2013, and it will be music to the ears of their fans that he’s staying put.
In a post on Instagram on Thursday evening, the German revealed he followed his heart to remain at the Emirates.
“It’s been one of the most important decisions of my footballing career and that’s why I had to think hard and talk with everyone who’s important to me,” he said.
“Good things take time! In the end, I let my heart decide. As I always said, I feel at home here and I’m highly motivated to achieve big things in the next few years. Once a Gunner, always a Gunner.”
