-Mesut Ozil Remain In Arsenal After Deal Extension

Mesut Ozil is set to end the speculation he could leave Arsenal and sign a contract extension with the club. The midfielder has just six months to run on his existing deal, meaning he could speak to foreign clubs about a free transfer in the summer.

However, he is now set to stay at Arsenal, with the news coming just hours after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang joined the club from Borussia Dortmund for around £60m. Earlier this season Ozil was reported to be attracting interest from Manchester United, who signed Alexis Sanchez from Arsenal in January in a swap-deal which saw another attacking midfielder, Henrikh Mkhitaryan, head in the opposite direction.

But Arsene Wenger had maintained Ozil would not be leaving Arsenal in the current transfer window.
