Baku, August 17 (AZERTAC). Real Madrid have completed the signing of Germany World Cup star Mesut Ozil from Werder Bremen.

The 21-year-old was in outstanding form during Germany`s run to the semi-finals, and had attracted interest from some of Europe`s biggest clubs.

The two clubs are believed to have agreed a fee of about 15m euros (£12.4m) for a player with one year left on his contract.

Ozil will undergo a medical in Madrid on Wednesday.

A statement on the Real website paid fulsome tribute to Ozil`s qualities.

“His unique touch, unmatched individual technique, excellent ball control and deadly last pass make the German midfielder one of the brightest up-and-coming stars in European football,” read the statement.

Ozil, who follows his Germany team-mate Sami Khedira to the Bernabeu, joined Werder Bremen from Schalke in 2008, winning the DFB Cup and finishing as a runner-up in the Uefa Cup.

Ozil won the European Under-21 title with Germany in 2009, and made his debut for the senior national side in the same year.
