MESUT'S JERSEYS SELLING MORE THAN BALE'S
Ok guys, remember our last edition of sport update featured rave of the moment Irish footballer 'Gareth bale.' This time around he's back in comparison with ex Madrid star and German international now a confirmed gunner, Mesut Ozil. Its rumored that the latter has sold more shirts than the record breaking irish winger Gareth Bale .
Bale transferred to Real Madrid in the latest transfer window for a record fee of 100million pounds, making him the highest bought player in the world, surpassing the 80 million pounds the Bernabeau giants initially bought fellow team mate Christiano Ronaldo.
According to UK’s leading online retailer UKSoccershop.com, shirt sales of Arsenal’s deadline day signing Mesut Ozil are outselling Gareth Bale’s by five to one.
Madrid has already been criticized for letting the German go for around half the fee they used to make Bale the world’s most expensive player after making a move to the Bernabeu for £86 million.
Germany coach Joachim Low considered the decision to be ‘incomprehensible’, while Madrid players including Christiano Ronaldo and Sergio Ramos have also expressed their disappointment.
UKSoccershop.com managing director Simon Pretswell said: ‘Leaving aside the debate over Bale’s sporting merits, a large part of any major transfer is often the commercial advantages associated with the signing of the player.’
