Mesut Özil has taken to Twitter to comment on a player who Tottenham are reportedly monitoring this month, and he has some high praise for him.

In a Q&A session on Twitter last night, the Arsenal maestro was asked for his thoughts on Real Madrid colossus Sergio Ramos.

According to the Evening Standard, Jose Mourinho is eyeing the Spain international as he looks for a leader at centre-back in the mould of Thiago Silva.

When asked about the 34-year-old, Özil tweeted the following.

There’s simply no denying that the 178-cap Spain international is among the best in the world, and has been for many, many years now.

The former Sevilla man has won the World Cup, the European Championship, the Champions League on four occasions, and is also a five-time La Liga champion.

If Tottenham were to land him, questions marks might be raised in regards to his age.

However, his arrival would inject a serious amount of leadership, experience and winning know-how into Mourinho’s dressing room.

Ramos has made an incredible 712 appearances throughout his career.

In 667 of those for Real Madrid, he has netted a remarkable 100 goals, while also registering 40 assists.

In truth, he would arguably be the most high-profile signing Tottenham have ever made if he arrived in north London.
