Mesut Özil has added another stunning flat to his London properties, solidifying his position as one of the most prominent footballers in the UK. The German midfielder, known for his time at clubs like Schalke 04 and Real Madrid, has become the third most expensive signing in British football history, trailing behind only Carlos Tevez and Fernando Torres.
Özil’s move to Arsenal, sealed with a lucrative five-year deal and a weekly salary of £150,000 plus bonuses, was met with great excitement from Arsenal’s head coach Arsène Wenger, who praised Özil’s skill and suitability for the club.
Despite not reaching the same level of global fаme as Messi or Ronaldo, Özil has consistently showcased his talent both at the club and international levels. His time at Real Madrid, where he played a crucial role in their Copa del Rey triumphs, caught the attention of Arsenal, who broke their club transfer record to secure him for £42.5 million. This made Özil not only Arsenal’s most expensive signing but also the priciest German player ever.
Özil’s impact extended beyond club football, as evidenced by his pivotal role in Germany’s historic 7-1 victory over Brazil in the 2014 World Cup semi-final. With his career flourishing and his financial status secure, Özil settled into his lavish lifestyle in north London, complete with a £10 million mansion adorned with Turkish marble and a plethora of luxury amenities. HYPEBEAST was granted access to Özil’s opulent abode, showcasing his extravagant taste, including a vast collection of designer trainers featuring brands like Louboutin and Adidas Yeezy Boosts.
