Mesut Ozil to leave Arsenal

Mesut Ozil wants to quit Arsenal as soon as January and the Gunners are ready to do business.

Bayern Munich are lining up a bid of around £30million for Ozil, who joined Arsenal from Real Madrid last summer for a club record £42.5m.

The Football Grapevine understands the Germany star has grown increasingly unhappy at Arsenal, not least because he is not being played in his preferred forward floating role by Arsene Wenger.

Ozil returned to Germany last week only to discover what was thought a minor knee injury could in fact rule him out for up the three months.

It might even mean he has played his last game for the Gunners.

Wenger doesn’t usually like to do business in January but could see the opportunity of offloading Ozil and bringing in his compatriot Sami Khedira from Real Madrid.

Arsenal may also move for two other Germany stars in Mats Hummels and Julian Draxler.
