Ozil is a he admirer of the Premier League and suggests he wants to continue playing in England's top flight for a while yet.

"A return to Germany is not an option for me right now. I am really happy at Arsenal and I want this to continue," the Gunners ace told German newspaper Express.

"I played in the Bundesliga and at Real Madrid. But the English Premier League is the strongest league in the world.

"You can only succeed here when you're on top level physically."
