For the Arsenal fans in the Transfer Tavern, it’s been horrible to read reports from the Daily Telegraph that the club could consider selling Mesut Ozil next summer.
The German playmaker is one of the elite talents in north London and remains a key aspect to any hopes they may have in winning a first Premier League title in over a decade.
