Arsenal 'take action' against coach Mark Arber over 'Mesut Ozil betting'

Arsenal have reportedly taken action against academy coach Mark Arber following claims that he bet on the arrival of Mesut Ozil.

The North London outfit investigated a tweet sent by Arber suggesting that he had put money on odds of 14-1 for Ozil to join the Gunners on deadline day.

The transfer eventually came to fruition, with Arsenal agreeing a club-record £42.5m fee for the German international with Real Madrid.

According to BBC Sport, a statement was released by the club claiming that Arsenal have taken "appropriate action" against Arber.

The Football Association also have strict rules on betting.
