Ozil pledges future to Bremen
Germany star Mezut Ozil has pledged his immediate future to Werder Bremen, ending speculation of a move to Chelsea or Arsenal.
The 21-year-old has become a household name after a string of impressive performances at the World Cup in South Africa.
The midfielder only has one year left on his deal with the Bundesliga club, sparking interest from the Premier League duo as well as Spanish giants Barcelona.
However, Ozil has quashed that speculation by declaring his intention to see out his contract in Germany.
Ozil told Bild am Sonntag: "Bremen want me to fulfil the contract and so I will fulfil the contract. "
"I have always said that I want to fulfil my contract. That is important for me. Money isn't everything."
Speaking of a possible contract extension, he said: "It's not out of the question. We can take another look mid-season."
