Arsenal receive NO offers for £350,000-a-week Ozil, leaving Emery short of transfer funds

ARSENAL are set to be lumped with Mesut Ozil for at least another six months with the unwanted German attracting no serious interest in the summer transfer market.
Taking home a pay packet of £350,000-a-week, Ozil is prime for a sale as the Gunners look to cut their wage bill for new signings.
However, the playmaker's shoddy form throughout the last campaign has led to zero formal approaches coming his way, according to .
Ozil registered just six goals and three assists last year having won a contract wrangle with the club, who handed him a mega three-and-a-half year renewal in January 2018.
Far from the only player to drop off as the going got tough, his poor displays contributed to Arsenal missing out on the Champions League - creating a double-edged sword.
In desperate need of improvements to his playing staff, coach Unai Emery has only around £45million to sign upgrades.
Therefore it is imperative the deadwood is shifted so that a centre-back, left-back and midfielder can be bought.
Saint-Etienne teenager William Saliba has been strongly linked with a switch but the Ligue 1 side want their defender loaned back to them for a season.

Another club playing hardball are Celtic, whose star full-back Kieran Tierney is subject to Gunners interest but his team are demanding £30m.
Arsenal are also reportedly keen to sell Shkodran Mustafi following his error-strewn campaign.
And yet, like Ozil, finding a buyer willing to pay his wages is proving difficult.
