Former Arsenal star Mesut Ozil has made his feelings clear about his old club.

The German World Cup winner, who scored 44 goals and had 79 assists in 254 games for the Premier League giants, retired this week.

The 34-year-old has hung up his boots, but he took the time to heap praise on the London club where he spent several seasons.

On Arsenal, he told Marca: "The first years were very good. We played in the Champions League, we had a great team with great players and an incredible coach like Arsene Wenger.

“After he left the club, many things changed for me. But I have no interest in adding fuel to the fire again.

"Now I am relaxed and I wish the best to the Arsenal fans, who have always been very supportive of me. I would be happy for them if they could celebrate the Premier League title. They deserve it!"
