Ozil - I have the faith of the coach

Arsenal's new signing, Mesut Ozil, gave an exclusive interview to DFB TV. Read extract below:

Why did you choose to move to Arsenal?

Firstly, I’m really looking forward to it because I have the faith of the coach. I had spoken to him at length on the telephone and he explained his plans and that he has faith in me and that is what I need as a player. I’m also looking forward to being on the same team as Lukas Podolski and Per Mertesacker. I’m looking forward to the new challenge there. I’ve already heard that they have super fans, the city is great and the team is fantastic and I’m really looking forward to that.

Arsène Wenger speaks very good German. Does that help?

Of course. Not just him but some of my national team colleagues are there and they will probably help me. I'm just looking forward to the new challenge.

Was the World Cup a factor in your decision?

Of course. Arsène Wenger will give me the trust to help me develop further. I want to be completely fit for the World Cup. I know what I can do and what potential I have. I could have established myself at any club. I know that because I'm convinced of my own ability. At Arsenal, I can feel that there is trust. I'm looking forward to the challenge. I will develop under my new manager and I'm looking forward to [playing in] the Premier League too. Wenger gives me the faith and I can develop further.
