Mesut Özil has taken the “easy option” by opting to join Arsenal from Real Madrid according to the Manchester United legend Paul Scholes.
Scholes commented on the Arsenal man in an article in the newspaper The Independent.
“Over the years, the big players who were really ambitious – Vieira, Thierry Henry, Cesc Fàbregas, Robin van Persie – have all left,” Scholes stated in the Independent.
“They left for the simple reason that Arsenal are not in it to win league titles any more. Those players have realised that if they want to win championships then they have to move elsewhere.
“It’s why I think Mesut Özil took the easy option joining Arsenal.”
