The Gunners are blazing!

It's a perfect start of a story after eight years without a big signing. And now, the coming of Mesuit Ozil from Real Madrid, looks like Arsenal is set to rule the world of soccer.

Hold on ...not just soccer, the tabloids are taking interest in him as well.

Ozil is not the only new arrival in London to be creating a buzz, the German midfielder's girlfriend, Mandy Capristo is set to be a glamorous addition to Britain's collection of footballing WAGs.

Arsenal's new boy faces sky-high expectations from fans but the cameras are going to trained on his pop star girlfriend.
 
Ozil, who is of Turkish ancestry, is a devout Muslim, but his girlfriend has become a celebrity in Germany thanks to her flamboyant musical performances and participation in a dancing-themed TV show.

The 24-year-old footballer is expected to be accompanied by Miss Capristo, 23, who found fame as a teen performer and member of a girl band before going solo.

She will join other WAGs such as Coleen Rooney, Abbey Crouch and - most famous of all - former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham.

Ozil and Miss Capristo have been dating for less than a year, but are not shy about showing off their dedication to each other.

 
Miss Capristo's first brush with stardom came when she competed on a youth talent show, Kiddy Contest, which she won at the age of 11.
 
She later took part in the German edition of Popstars, and as a result became a member of the group Monrose, which sold 3million albums over four years.
 
The singer was named 'sexiest woman in the world' by readers of German FHM in 2010, and last year she boosted her profile by participating in Let's Dance, a TV show similar to Strictly Come Dancing.
 
Miss Capristo released her debut solo album Grace in April last year.

Ozil is one of the stars of the German national team, and has also been held up as an icon of Turkish immigrants' ability to integrate into German society.
 
He started his career at FC Schalke 04 before moving to Werder Bremen and then, in a €15million transfer, going to Real in 2010.
 
The star was Arsenal's only significant signing of the summer, and is expected to help Arsene Wenger's team challenge for their first trophy since 2005.
