Agent says 'loyal' Ozil won't leave Arsenal in January: But many clubs interested... | OneFootball

The agent of Mesut Ozil insists the German midfielder is a 'loyal' man and will not leave Arsenal in January before the expiration of his contract.

Ozil was omitted from Mikel Arteta's Premier League and Europa League squads in October and the squad lists cannot be changed until January.

There has been rumours Ozil could leave next month, with MLS and Fenerbahce touted as landing spots, but Ozil's agent Dr Erkut Sogut says his client is completely focused on the Gunners.

"Even one day is a long time in football, you never know," he told Tuttomercatoweb . "Of course, there are many clubs interested in signing 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 and is loyal, and loyalty is hard to find in these times. He is not thinking of other clubs except the one with which he is now under contract.

"It's a shame that Mesut isn't playing. Of course, everyone focuses on his salary and I understand why. But from a personal perspective, I say it's a waste considering his talent and creativity.

"He is training harder than ever. At home he has a gym, in the garden and in the garage. So, in addition to the work he does with the club, he also trains at home. This shows his professionalism, all his seriousness."
