Real Madrid president Florentino Perez: 'Mesut Ozil was obsessed with women'

Real Madrid president Florentino Perez has reportedly accused Mesut Ozil of being "obsessed with women" and having a string of mistresses.

The German international left the Spanish giants on transfer deadline day in a £42.5m switch to Arsenal, the day after the club spent a world-record £85m on Gareth Bale from Tottenham Hotspur.

Despite a number of Ozil's former teammates expressing their disappointment at the midfielder's exit, reports in Spain have claimed that Perez questioned the player's professionalism.

"He was obsessed with women," the Daily Mail quotes Perez as saying. "He would go out at night with his mistresses and without sleep for hours and hours."

Meanwhile, reports have claimed that Ozil's Arsenal shirts are currently outselling those of Bale's at Madrid.
