CONTRACT rebels Alexis Sanchez and Mesut Ozil have revealed why they swapped La Liga for Arsenal.
The Gunners' star players could leave the Emirates this summer having failed to put pen-to-paper on a new deal.
But the duo have spoken highly of the club having left Spanish giants Barcelona and Real Madrid to pursue silverware at the Emirates.

Sanchez left the Nou Camp for the Premier League in 2014 but only has an FA Cup winners medal since his switch.
And the Chilean admitted it was the style of football that convinced him to make the move.
Speaking in a Copa 90 video, he said: "What brought me here to Arsenal was that it's a big club. It's time we made history at this club.
"Arsenal's football attracted me because they like to have the ball when they play."
His team-mate Ozil also revealed that Arsenal's attractive playing style was the catalyst in his decision.
He added: "I know they played very good football, attractive football.

"I knew this club played very good football, and not just for one year, for many years."
But their time at the club could be drawing to an end having refused to commit their futures at the club.
Sanchez was involved in a training ground bust-up with his team-mates before Arsenal's league clash with Liverpool last month and was subsequently dropped for the encounter.
Ozil has come under increasing criticism for his performances, particularly against the bigger teams where he fails to make an impact on the game.
