Loew puzzled about Real's sale of Ozil


(Reuters) - Germany coach Joachim Loew has added his voice to the chorus of bewilderment prompted by Real Madrid's decision to sell his playmaker Mesut Ozil to Arsenal.

Real recouped almost half the 100 million euros (84 million pounds) they paid Arsenal's Premier League rivals Tottenham Hotspur for Gareth Bale in the Ozil deal but have lost a player who made 31 assists in his last two seasons, the most of any player in La Liga.
