Plenty of Arsenal fans are fuming after the agent of Mesut Ozil told beIN SPORTS (via LTArsenal) that the attacking midfield player will remain at the north London club for this season at the very minimum.
He publicly came out and ruled out any move away from the Gunners in the upcoming transfer window, which sparked some outrage on Twitter.

Ozil has not always enjoyed the best relationship with AFC supporters, a recent example being that he has refused to take a 12.5 per cent pay cut, despite earning £350,000 a week. Arsenal have proposed this amid the financial crisis facing most football clubs due to the global pandemic.
This has likely been heightened by the fact that he is not enjoying the best of seasons at the moment, as the 31-year old has only scored one goal and provided a mere three assists in 23 appearances in all competitions, according to Transfermarkt.

We don’t need him, what’s stopping us from selling him, can’t we just dump him in some us league. He is the major reason for our midfield to be so dead.

Loool another fanboy settling for mediocrity.

He better make an attempt to play at the level he’s being paid next season then. He’s been an embarrassment since he signed it.
