Cristiano Ronaldo 'Very Unhappy' about Mesut Ozil's Transfer to Arsenal

Cristiano Ronaldo has told his Portugal team-mates that he is unhappy about the sale of Mesut Ozil to Arsenal, Spanish sports daily Diario AS has claimed.

The Real Madrid star is back home preparing for Friday's World Cup qualifier against Northern Ireland in Belfast and reportedly said: "The sale of Ozil is bad news for me. He is the player who knows best my movements in front of goal. I am very unhappy about the sale."

Ozil has provided 27 assists for Ronaldo at Real Madrid - the most in his career. The next best are Karim Benzema (17) and Ryan Giggs (16).

Yesterday Real Madrid stars Sergio Ramos and Alvaro Arbeloa publicly expressed their surprise at the £42m sale of the German playmaker.
