Arsenal's day gets even better as BBC confirm new Mesut Özil deal

Just a week after losing Alexis Sánchez, Arsenal have bounced back in a major way on transfer deadline day.

The Gunners sealed the club-record signing of Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang around lunchtime.

And, as reported by the BBC’s very reliable David Ornsetin, they also signed Mesut Özil to a new deal.

EXCLUSIVE: Mesut Ozil signs a new three-and-a-half year contract to remain at Arsenal until summer 2021. Becomes highest-paid player in club history on around £350k per week before tax. Deal agreed last weekend, signed at Colney this morning. Could take him to 8yrs at #AFC & 32yo pic.twitter.com/600XtVnbnH

Özil’s current contract is set to expire in the summer and for a long time it looked as if he was going to leave the club.

But the BBC say he has agreed to remain at the Emirates for a further three and a half years.

He will become the highest-paid player in club history, taking in about £350,000 per week.

An official announcement could arrive shortly.
