The German playmaker who currently plays for Arsenal, admits he still has “great memories” of his time at Los Blancos.

“Of course, I do not forget my time in Madrid. Three years have passed and I have great memories from there. Return? We’ll see,” said Ozil.
“Zidane was my Idol, as a child I always wanted to be like him on the field,” the Brazil 2014 World Cup winner admits.
“Madrid is a great club – I played with great players, I have friends there still. Madridistas are very loyal and affectionate with me.
“Madridistas still encourage me. Many send me messages and ask me to come back, so I have only good memories from there.”
Since joining the Gunners in 2013, Ozil has proved himself a world-class players, making great returns on his transfer value.
