​Arsenal star Ozil excited for tour Down Under

Arsenal star Mesut Ozil is looking forward to the Gunners trip to Sydney.

Arsene Wenger's side will face A-League clubs, Sydney and Western Sydney, on the 13th and 15th of July at ANZ Stadium.

"I hear Sydney is a nice city with a lot of nice people living there," he told Arsenal Player.

"I don't know a lot about Australia but this is a good opportunity to see the city, the people and I'm really happy to go there with Arsenal.

"It is really good to have pre-season with the team, in my career it has always been like that. If you play at a big tournament, especially with Germany, you really miss pre-season.

"Two years ago we went to Singapore and it was a nice experience to see the city and the fans, and to train how we do in Sydney. So I am excited to do the same in Australia. I can't wait to go there."
