German international Mesut Ozil has passed his medical at Arsenal and is in the process of signing the paperwork for the Gunners.

BBC Sport and Sky Sports both understand that Ozil will join Arsenal for €50million to smash the club’s record transfer fee on the last day of the transfer window.

Along with breaking through the club’s transfer record, the player’s wages will destroy the club’s current structure and make him one of the highest paid players in England. He will join German international teammates Lukas Podolski and Per Mertesacker in Arsenal red, the first of whom has spent the day retweeting Ozil-related reactions to further confirm the deal.

After a torturous summer of promises and pleas of patience it appears Arsenal are about to smash their transfer record by completing the signing of Real Madrid playmaker Mesut Ozil. According to Sky Sources the fee is around €50m (£42.5m) and the German is expected to earn around £135k per week. (Source: Sky Sports)

Ozil flew out to meet the German national team in Munich today where he undergone a medical. Reports suggest that an announcement could be made as early as 6.00pm UK time

Reports also suggest that the midfielder has turned down offers from Manchester United, Monaco and PSG in favour of signing for the Gunners.

After Arsenal’s sensational swoop for Mesut Ozil and rumours on Demba Ba & Angel di Maria, we took a look at the best reactions from the fans on Twitter…

@Petros_filios8  “I wake up and Ozil has transferred to arsenal.....wtf is going on”

@mikeSTYRONE “Would much rather get ozil for half the price of bale. Arsenal made a great move”

@Call_Me_Biodun “Arsenal discover that Ozil's eyes are pregnant”

Nope, I can’t believe it either. Arsenal are supposedly in advanced talks with Real Madrid’s Argentinian winger Angel di Maria over a potential move to the Emirates.

Di Maria watched today as the media raved and 25,000 fans packed the Bernabeu to watch the unveiling of left-sided midfielder Gareth Bale as a Madrid player, and surely the Argentina international isn’t happy at his replacement.

With Madrid keen to recoup the world record funds they splashed on Bale, di Maria could follow teammate Mesut Ozil to London after his German colleague looks set to make the same move from Spain to Arsene Wenger’s developing side.

Chelsea and Arsenal are said to be in advanced talks over a loan deal for striker Demba Ba.

The Chelsea man has struggled to make the first team this year, having to battle with Fernando Torres and Romelu Lukaku for a first team spot.

Now with the introduction of Samuel Eto’o into the Chelsea team, Ba looks certain to be left on the bench week after week, hence why Arsenal are looking to save the Senegal poacher.
