When you think of the crazy market spending out there, 42M is worth every single penny because Ozil has tons of experience under his belt, has played with world class players surrounding him in an arguably one of the best teams of the world.

He's also recorded top assists in entire Europe for the past three years and has a pretty much confirmed place in a potential world cup winning team. His CV is stacked and he's very much a proven skillful player and at the age of 24, peak of career and only got sold because of new manager's different plan, I don't actually consider it to be expensive at all given the crazy transfer prices these days.

Besides that, this purchase is very much a statement of intent that Arsenal can buy and will buy if a top class quality is available.
