Unai Emery seeks Mesut Ozil exit from Arsenal

Time up?

At £350,000-per-week, Mesut Ozil is Arsenal's highest paid player. However, he certainly isn't their most played. Under Unai Emery, Ozil has simply failed to establish a permanent place in the starting eleven, prompting speculation of unrest.

The German star was inexplicably dropped for Arsenal's 1-0 defeat against West Ham this past weekend, and latest reports from The Sun suggest that Emery is keen on offloading the 30-year-old this month, in order to free up funds for other player investments.

Arsenal have been linked with Barcelona's Denis Suarez, but Emery's claim that the club has no money for transfers could prompt the club to get rid of Ozil and his hefty wages, so as to make themselves capable of transfer window activity.
