Could German World Cup Star Mesut Ozil Be Premier League Bound?

July 07, 2010 - South Africa - Football - Germany v Spain FIFA World Cup Semi Final - South Africa 2010 - Durban Stadium, Durban, South Africa - 7/7/10..Germany's Mesut Ozil looks dejected at the end of the match after failing to reach the World Cup Final.

In what could easily be the transfer of the summer, 21 year old German wunderkid Mesut Ozil could be Premier League bound if the right price and right club come acalling. Ozil, currently in the Bundesliga at Werder Bremen, has a current contract that expires at the end of the 2010-2011 season.

If Bremen cant meet Ozils demands for a new contract, and while current talks to reach an agreement are faltering, the youngster could potentially leave the German club on a free after this upcoming season, a potential outcome Bremen wont want to see come to fruition.

The reality of stalled contract talks could in fact be the very reason Bremen need to realize now is the time to sell and cash in on Ozil so he doesnt leave next summer with no hefty transfer fee attached. Although a fan of the Bundesliga I am, seeing Ozil control the flow of play, spread passes across the pitch from midfield and get forward in attack would be all too tempting for me not to wish he lands with a Premier League club.

Not all signs point to England however. Bremens sporting director Klaus Allofs has in fact stated Bremens intentions to re-sign the player as priority number 1. However, if they cant meet Ozils demands, theyll be forced to cash in on the play-maker this summer as Premier League and other European clubs stand waiting in the wings.

Personally, Id love nothing more than to see the fantastic Ozil playing in the Premier League. Easily one of the players whose stock rose highest during the mont! h long t ournament, Ozil is the kind of quick, skilled play-maker any top four or title chasing team would die to have.

Since we are in fact currently in the silly season, rumors have surfaced of the usual suspects making undisclosed offers. Manchester United and Real Madrid are reported to have made offers with nothing set in stone as of yet.

What are your thoughts on Ozils potential transfer from Bremen to the Premier League? Which club do you think he would fit in best at?

    Blackburn 3 - Liverpool 1 - Roy Hodgson: They think it's all Rover

    Blackburn 3 - Liverpool 1 LIVERPOOL boss Roy Hodgsons job was left hanging by a thread last light after this bashing at Blackburn. Blackburn heaped the pressure on former manager Hodgson as they raced into a deserved 2-0 half-time lead. Speculation has been rife about the 63-year-olds future for weeks and goals from Martin Olsson and a double from Benjani did little to help. Steven Gerrard scored what proved to be just a late consolation with nine minutes to go when he fired in from the edge of the box. But the Liverpool skipper blazed a penalty over the bar fi ve minutes from time after he had been clipped in the area by Michel Salgado. Liverpool midfi elder Joe Cole made his ...

    Did Steven Gerrard Miss His Penalty Kick On Purpose?

    Image
    Video: PL Highlights: Blackburn/Liverpool Watching Steven Gerrard walk up to the spot to take the penalty late in the game against Blackburn Rovers, I was confident he would score for Liverpool. When faced with adversity, Gerrard often rises to the occasion. Earlier in the season, Gerrard cooly slotted home a penalty against fiercest rivals Manchester United even though the vast majority at Old Trafford was begging him to miss. Except Gerrards penalty against Blackburn didnt go according to script. After Gerrard pulled one back for Liverpool and then won a penalty, the Reds had a chance with five minutes left to find an equalizer. That is, if Gerrard could first slot the penalty away. But he didnt and the ball sailed over the bar. Usually I dont question a players character, but in this particular instance with a chance to put Liverpool in the ascendency, Gerrard flubbed his shot. Now whether he did this on purpose or not, well probably never know. I respect the man as a footballer, ...
