Real Madrid defender Sergio Ramos has expressed his disappointment with Mesut Ozil's move to Arsenal.
The German international completed his switch to the Premier League outfit yesterday evening in a deal worth £42.5m.
"It's obvious that he is a special teammate and friend. I've always had a real 'feeling' with him, and it's a shame. He's a great footballer, unique," he told reporters.
"Everyone is free to choose the best for themselves, but if I were to decide what was happening at Madrid, he would be one of the last who would be going. He has decided, and the club too. We have a great team and I hope it will be a big year [for us]."
Ozil has been handed the number 11 shirt at the Emirates Stadium.
