Arsenal transfer news: Mesut Ozil open to MLS move with Emirates future still unclear beyond this season
German playmaker has less than two years to run on current contract and admits Los Angeles fills him with inspiration
ARSENAL star Mesut Ozil admits he could be tempted to try his luck in the MLS one day.
The German playmaker has less than two years remaining on his current contract, and Gunners fans are concerned he could be tempted to leave for a new challenge next summer.
Ozil is expected to sit down with Arsenal chiefs shortly to discuss the situation, and speculation is rife as to where his future may lie.
New signing Shkodran Mustafi revealed Ozil convinced him to leave Valencia for north London in late August, and Arsenal are hoping the centre-back repays the favour by getting his compatriot to pen a new deal.
Ozil also has his eyes on the No.10 shirt, which was vacated by Jack Wilshere following his deadline day loan move to Bournemouth.
And Arsene Wenger is sure to hand his star man the jersey if it means he will stay at the Emirates.
Ozil said: “In football, you can never say never. You don’t know what will happen. I had a good time in Germany. That was a lot of fun.
