Asked by Sky Sports if he’s happy and wants to stick around at Arsenal, Özil said: “Absolutely. I’ve got two more years on my contract. I don’t know after that but I’ve got two years left.
“I’m 30 now, I still have years in front of me, it’s down to the club as well of course, but I’ve got two years here – after that I don’t know what happens.”
While it still appears that Unai Emery has reservations about using the World Cup winner in away games – a remarkable state of affairs given he’s the club’s highest earner on £350,000 a month – the midfielder says his relationship with his coach is ‘positive’.
“No [there are no issues with Emery],” he added. “Definitely not. There’s always speculation, everyone inside knew that our situation is positive.
“It’s frustrating [not playing]. I want to play in every game. Through injury I’ve missed games but that’s football.
“As a footballer you always want to start games. The coach makes decisions which means you may not start but you have to keep going.”
Whether the Arsenal hierarchy wants to keep Özil around remains to be seen. Their problem is that having handed him a whopping great pay rise few clubs can actually afford him.
