“I’ve spoken to a few players who have played with him at Schalke, like Draxler,” Ozil told Arsenal Player.
“They said to me that Sead is a really good player with a character that will fit our team.
“What I’ve seen of him on the training pitch so far is that he’s very strong, but character-wise he seems to be a really nice guy. We’re happy to have him in our team.”
Ozil also revealed that he will try to help Kolasinac settle in with recommendations on where to live and more importantly what to eat.
“If he has questions where I know I can help him, I’ll be very happy to do that,” he added.
“As a new player, you want to know about where you can live, what you can do, which restaurants are good. If he has any questions, my door is always open to him.”
