Mesut Oezil

My first sport blog post was about Mesut Oezil who had an amazing World Cup. After such a successful tournament it seemed like it was only a matter of time until the 21-year-old moved away from Werder Bremen. Clubs such as Manchester United, Chelsea and Barcelona were all linked with the creative midfielder but on August 18th, Real Madrid announced they had signed him.

Oezil joins his fellow countryman Sami Khedira at the Bearnabeu and the two look set to make waves in La Liga this season under the new 'Number One', Jose Mourinho.

As a Chelsea fan, I'm slightly disappointed we didn't secure the services of Oezil after being closely linked to the player but I wish the kid luck and success at Real Madrid.

Mesut Oezil

As Germany were sadly knocked out in the semi-finals of the World Cup at the hands of Spain, I thought it was only right to pay homage to one of their outstanding players, Mesut Oezil. Playing in Germany's 4-2-3-1 system just behind Klose, the 21-year-old has provided a creative spark for this young German side. The Werder Bremen midfielder has been in inspired form for Germany from the first game against Australia. Germany have scored 13 goals in this years tournament: Oezil scored one of them, a brilliant strike against Ghana in Germany's final group game. He has also contributed with three assists. Off the back of his brilliant run in the World Cup, he is being linked with many of Europe's top clubs.

He raps too...get familiar with the name, Mesut Oezil.
