Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil is wanted by clubs in Saudi Arabia and Qatar with Arsenal desperate to offload the Germany midfielder.

But Ozil, has no intention of leaving north London and plans to remain in England until his Gunners contract expires next year.

The 31-year-old is tied down to Arsenal until the end of the season, and Emirates chiefs want to cash in on Ozil this summer to wipe his huge £350,000-a-week wages off their books.

Teams in Saudi Arabia and Qatar are said to be keen on Ozil with Arsenal seeking to offload him, and Saudi team Al-Nassr are reportedly ready to offer the midfielder around £15million-per-year.

But even such a lucrative offer is unlikely to tempt Ozil, who last month insisted to the Athletic that he has no desire to quit the Gunners until the day his contract expires.

“My position is clear,” said Ozil. “I’m here through to the last day of our agreement and I’ll give everything I have for this club.

“I’ll decide when I go, not other people.
“I didn’t sign for two or three years, I signed for four and that should be respected by everyone.

“Things have obviously been difficult but I love Arsenal, I love to work there, I love the people in the club — the real people, those I’ve been with for a long time — and I love London, it’s my home.

“Whatever happened in the last two seasons, I’m happy and very strong mentally. I never give up on anything. I want to help my team and I’ll fight for it. If I’m fit, I know what I can do on the pitch.”

I think this is the right time for Mesut Ozil to leave Arsenal or else he will be disgraced and put to shame last last.
