Mesut Özil 'staying at Arsenal' confirms agent | OneFootball

Mesut Özil will not be leaving Arsenal despite increased speculation, according to his agent.

Dr. Erkut Sogut has revealed that Özil remains committed to the club and could even stay beyond his current contract.

The 30-year-old has fallen out of favour under Unai Emery and was rumoured to have fallen out with the Spaniard, but Sogut insists this isn’t true.

“Given the recent speculation linking him with a move away from Arsenal, I feel it is important to provide some clarity so we can end this and focus on football,” he told Goal.

“Mesut signed a new contract last January because he saw his future at Arsenal and nothing has changed in his mind. He wants to stay for the duration of that contract and maybe even longer.

“Mesut is 100 per cent committed to Arsenal Football Club. He loves the club, shares its values and does not want to be anywhere else.”

“In the last year, there has been enormous upheaval for everybody at the club and the first half of this season has not been perfect for Mesut,” Sogut continued.

“He has suffered from injuries and illness, and is working hard to adapt to the different system employed by head coach Unai Emery.

“This may take time, but Mesut will give everything he has to help make it work and bring success to Arsenal.”
