The main man who has been guiding the team to score goals will be staying with Arsenal. Like Sanchez, there had been speculation that the German may leave for a rival club. Fans were worried that Ozil may be heading to Old Trafford to join Sanchez, but shortly after the January transfer window came to a close, Ozil penned a new contract.

Negotiations in January had been a success and with new recruits from the transfer window, it looks like Arsenal have satisfied Ozil enough for him to pen a 3 year deal with the Gunners.

If Ozil had left for free in the summer, Arsenal would have had to spend another huge sum of money finding a central attacking midfielder with qualities as good as him or even better. It was good news that Arsenal were able to keep their assist-king.
