Report
has per IBT, has revealed that Mesut Ozil has raised a fresh doubt over his future
at the Emirates; he was stating that he will be thinking about extending his contract
at Arsenal after the European Championships in France next month as also reported
by the Squawka and the National.
The German
international has only two years left on his contract with Arsenal and is
waiting to see how things are going to work out with the gunners before
committing his future at the Emirates.
The 27-year-old
had a step forward season in 2015/16 when he makes 19 assists, just one to be of
Thierry Henry’s record having most assist in a league campaign.
The
German international has not been coming up about committing his future to the
club; he has hindered his contracts talks until the end of the season and has
now declared that he will be deciding over his future at the Emirates after
EURO 2016.
Arsenal
has failed to take advantage of the German international brilliant form and fell
off in the second half of the season, which makes the Gunners ended the season
in second place and ahead of Tottenham Hotspur in the Premier League.
The North
London club beat Aston Villa 4 – 0 and Spurs lost 5 – 1 to Newcastle which saw
the Gunners to finish second as their highest ever league finish since 2005 for
the 21st consecutive campaign.
The
German international who still has two years left on his current contract at
the Emirates, has been rumored to be linked with a move to Juventus and
Manchester United should possibly Jose Mourinho comes in as manager at the Old
Trafford.
The North
London club management now has to convince Ozil that staying at the Emirates is
the forward, it is reported that Arsenal are reportedly to set an offer to the
German international a contract extension worth £200,000 per week, which in turn
would make him the first player to earn such wage in the club’s history.
As the
team manager aims in strengthening the team this summer, he believes the World cup
winner could be convince to remain at the team, but base on the recent
comments, this will be possible after his return from international duty in
France.
As quoted
by the National, Ozil said, "I still have two years contract with Arsenal,
as you know, and we will be in talks with the club and we'll see what happens
in the future.”
“But as I
said, now I'm concentrating on Euro 2016 in France, which is very important for
me and my team after the last World Cup. Then later on, I will see what I do
with Arsenal."
On the
other hand, there are growing beliefs among the fans that the Gunners should
have done better this season as Leicester City went on implausible run to win
the Premier League.
The 27-year-old
sided with the gunner’s fans pertaining to this regard and stated that Arsenal
really broke down following the 2-0 loss to Barcelona at the Emirates and they
failed to pick up themselves, dropping vital points to smaller teams like
Swansea City following the tragedy.
"Especially after the
Barcelona game, we lost points. That was the time in the team where we weren't
good enough to take the points and go."
"We dropped a lot of points
which we shouldn't have dropped against smaller teams and that was the point in
the season where we were just not strong enough as a team to take a one point
sometimes and go ahead," The German international added.
Ozil has led the Premier League
assists with 19 and he has scored 6-goals in 35 league appearances. He joined
the North London club from Real Madrid in 2013.
