Agent: 'Mesut Ozil will see out remainder of his Arsenal contract'

Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil intends to see out the remaining two years of his contract, according to his agent Erkut Sogut.

The German playmaker has failed to hold down a place in the Gunners' starting lineup this season, most recently being left out for Sunday's Premier League clash with Burnley.

Emery reportedly wants to get Ozil's £350,000-a-week wages off the club's books, but the ex-Real Madrid man has no intention of departing during the off-season.

"Rumours will always persist," Sogut told Turkish-Football.com. "There is no doubt about that - but one thing I can guarantee is Mesut's loyalty.

"His mind is focused on Arsenal, and Arsenal only. Mesut bleeds Arsenal red, and respecting his contract is a certainty. He'll be staying at Arsenal until at least 2021, and the fans need not to worry about the gossip that may come this summer.

"He has found a place he feels welcome and believes he has a lot more to give."

Ozil has made 226 appearances for Arsenal since joining from Madrid six years ago.
