Arsenal attacker Mesut Ozil has poured cold water on suggestions that he wants to return to Real Madrid.
It had been claimed that the German's admiration for Los Blancos boss Zinedine Zidane could see him return to the club that he departed in 2013, but the World Cup winner has insisted that he is "only thinking about Arsenal".
"Zidane was an amazing player. He did not just play football, but lived for the game. I got to know him after his active career as someone who is always willing to lend a hand," Ozil told Spox.
"But that does not say anything about my future. I am only thinking about Arsenal. There is no truth in the speculation linking me with a return to Spain."
Ozil, 27, has made 110 appearances for Arsenal since making the move from the Bernabeu in the summer of 2013.
