Why is Mesut Ozil at Arsenal? Chelsea's Romelu Lukaku aims dig at Germany star
CHELSEA striker and former Everton loan star Romelu Lukaku has aimed a cheeky dig at Arsenal and Germany playmaker Mesut Ozil on Twitter during the World Cup clash with Brazil.
Ozil left Real Madrid last summer in a whopping £42.5million deal for north London in a transfer that shocked world football.
After a fine start to his Emirates career, Ozil suffered a disastrous lack of form which coincided with Arsenal's decline after leading the Premier League for the first half of the season.
Ozil has also come under fire in Germany for his performances at the World Cup, and Lukaku took to his Twitter account @RomeluLukaku9 to question why the former Werder Bremen left the Santiago Bernabeu in the first place.
No dissrespect to Arsenal who is also a big club but i don't understand why ozil has left real madrid.... I guess will never know..????

I don't understand why Ozil has left Real Madrid
He said: "No dissrespect to Arsenal who is also a big club but i don't understand why ozil has left real madrid.... I guess will never know.."
The tweet is sure to enrage both fans of Arsenal and Germany, who view Ozil as a key player in their respective sides.
Lukaku's Belgium crashed out of the World Cup at the weekend to Argentina, who may well end up against Germany in the final should they get past Louis Van Gaal and Holland tomorrow evening.
