Germany star Ozil drops Chelsea, Man Utd hint

Werder Bremen midfielder Mesut Ozil admits he fancies a move to England.

Ozil could soon be tempted by the Premier League's millions, although Spain's La Liga also appeals.

Ozil has just a year left on his contract at Werder Bremen and insists he will not allow anything to take his focus off events in South Africa.

He said: "The World Cup is all that matters at the moment.

"When I get back we can think about my future, but for now it's not something I want to give a lot of thought to. To the top players the Premier League is attractive.

"You look at what Manchester United and Chelsea have achieved over the last five years and you see it would be easy to be successful at two clubs like that.

"I see what Michael Ballack achieved at Chelsea and the quality of players he played with and the temptation becomes obvious.

"Trophies are what matters to me. There are two teams in England always at the top and of course that's attractive. But the same is true for La Liga.

"They're the strongest leagues in the world."
