It would be fair to say that Mesut Ozil splits opinion. Some consider him to be lazy footballer, others one of the best number 10s in world football.
There is no question that the German international is an outstanding talent on his day, and he has been in good form for Arsenal over the last few weeks.
The former Real Madrid attacker will be out of contract at the end of this season, however, and Manchester United have been linked with a swoop in the January transfer window.
The 29-year-old, who is valued at £45m by transfermarkt.co.uk, scored the only goal of the match as Arsenal returned to winning ways in the Premier League with a 1-0 success over Newcastle United on Saturday afternoon.
On Sunday night, Arsenal’s official Twitter account posted quotes from Arsene Wenger where the Gunners boss paid tribute to Ozil’s recent form.
The club’s supporters went into overdrive as they believed that the tweet signalled that a new contract will soon be signed. Well, they hope so anyway!
