Germany star Mesut Ozil has admitted he is
loving life in England.
The former Real Madrid midfielder, who joined
Arsenal in a £43million summer move, is currently on
international duty as he and his team-mates prepare
for Friday night's World Cup qualifier against the
Republic of Ireland.
But much of the focus from the German media was
on Ozil's new life in London.
He said: "Driving on the left-hand side. I thought it
would be much more difficult than it really is. But Per
Mertesacker gave me some 'driving lessons' and they
helped me, so I can drive there.
"London is an interesting city to live in. I have grown
to love the place in a short space of time.
"The guys in the Arsenal team and the coaching staff
are fully behind me. They have given me great
responsibility and that's what I feel great about."
Ozil's Gunners initiation included the traditional song
in front of his team-mates, although it was an
experience he admitted he did not enjoy.
He said: "The singing bit, I didn't really want to do
that because my voice just isn't up to it. I'm not an X-
Factor contender by any stretch of the imagination."
Asked what he had sung, he replied: "The song was a
Turkish song, to be honest. Of course, people didn't
understand what I was singing."
