Mesut Ozil is not for sale - Wenger

Arsenal manager Arsene Wenger insists that German top class midfielder Mesut Ozil is not for sale.

£42.5 million playmaker had a difficult start last year and has been linked with move to the Italian side Juventus.

“Ozil is our player, he will remain our player and he wants to remain our player," Wenger told Mirror.co.uk official website.

“It is a big season for him because he had a difficult start last year and in the second part of the season he was very important.

"There are many offensive players who have an important season in front of them but I’m confident because I think they have the quality.

“Ozil understands the rhythms of English football and he has improved his defensive attitude. He works hard and offensively he is a top class player.”
