Real Madrid‘s ace attacking-midfielder Mesut Ozil may be on his way out of the Spanish Capital. Interest from the Premier League is growing from two clubs, but one is more serious than the other.

Arsenal just won against Tottenham earlier today courtesy of a 1-0 victory in a London derby. After the match, a rumor began stating that a huge transfer would be finalized before the deadline tomorrow night. The coach, Arsene Wenger, has only made one signing to date in Mathieu Flamini.

If Ozil is added to the already sensational mix, the midfield will be ever so much stronger as his vision, speed, skill and overall understanding of the game makes him an asset that is truly mandatory to have.

Madrid have just finalized the successful transfer of Gareth Bale to the club for a world record fee of 86 million Euros. Obviously, the kid is going to be a lock to start for that kind of money. By adding him, Ozil could be a surplus to requirements.

Kaka has departed the capital to return to Milan to play for AC. This creates some room for Ozil to stay, but since Isco has also recently arrived, the German may have trouble successfully fighting for his starting spot.

If coach Carlo Ancelotti makes it clear to Ozil that his starting chances are slim, he could definitely end up playing in the Premier League starting next week. He would fit into the starting lineup without a problem. In fact, let’s take a quick look below:

4-2-3-1

Giroud

Cazorla          OZIL        Walcott

Ramsey               Wilshere

Gibbs Koscielny Mertesacker Jenkinson

Or…

4-3-3

Cazorla       Giroud    Walcott

Ramsey       Wilshere          OZIL

Gibbs Koscielny Mertesacker Jenkinson

Either way, Ozil fits in perfectly with his pace and ability to adapt to all types of pressure. He can be a phenomenal addition to the club.

Ladies and gentlemen, tomorrow night we will find out if he indeed does become a member of one of London’s most prestigious soccer clubs.
