Mesut Ozil will NOT leave Arsenal until next summer with Turkey, Asia and USA all viable options, reveals player’s agent
Mesut Ozil will not be leaving Arsenal this summer and is determined to see out the rest of his contract at the Emirates, the playmaker's agent has revealed.
Ozil has failed to justify his mammoth £350,000-a-week pay package over the last two years especially, struggling for form under both Unai Emery and now Mikel Arteta.
However, Ozil's representative believes it's unlikely he will secure a move away this summer, especially in the current financial climate.
"I don't think Mesut will leave before the summer of 2021," Erkut Sogut told
"He's got an ongoing contract that hasn't changed. He will stay with Arsenal."
Sogut did, however, confirm that Ozil is '90 per cent' likely to depart when he becomes a free agent next summer.
He added: "When his deal is up, I estimate there is a 90 per cent chance he will leave Arsenal.
"Maybe Asia, America, Turkey? Who knows."
Last week, Gunners legend Ian Wright expressed his view that Ozil's Arsenal career is over - whether he leaves the club this summer or not.
"I think that he’s gone,’ the 56-year-old told Premier League Productions. "It’s all about attitude.

"The thing is when you look at Dani Ceballos he had an attitude problem, Mikel turned him round and now he’s in the team. Matteo Guendouzi – they’re talking about him having a problem – he’s not in the team.
"Mikel’s given people the opportunity to get into the team if their attitude is right but at the minute their attitude is not right.
"Arsenal need him [Ozil] of course but I believe that he’s somebody that’s gone from Arsenal whether he stays or Mikel gets rid of him, we’re not going to see much of him."
