Mesut Ozil wants to STAY at Arsenal in January and see out his contract

Mesut Ozil wants to stay at Arsenal and see out the rest of his contract despite being cast aside by Mikel Arteta, insists his agent.

The German midfielder finds himself in the wilderness in north London after he was excluded from Arteta’s squads for both the Premier League and Europa League.

But his agent, Erkut Sogut, has insisted Ozil has no intention of leaving the club before his contract expires next summer.

Speaking to Tuttomercatoweb, when asked about whether Ozil will leave in January, Sogut said: ‘Even one day is a long time in football, you never know.

‘Of course, there are many clubs interested in him.

‘This has never changed but his willingness to honour his contract and play hasn’t changed either.

‘He’s a man of his word, loyal, and loyalty is hard to find in these times.’
