Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil has reportedly turned down an offer from Turkish Super Lig side Fenerbahce.
The German playmaker will see his deal at the Emirates run out next summer and Ozil is yet to feature since the restart, leading to widespread speculation linking the player with a move away during the transfer window.
However, the former Real Madrid man is supposedly desperate to see out the remainder of his contract in North London, and Gunners manager Mikel Arteta has hinted that Ozil could still have a future at Arsenal.
However, Fenerbahce have been strongly linked with a swoop for the 31-year-old in recent weeks, but according to Bild, Ozil has rejected the Turkish outfit's advances.
The report claims that Ozil is keen to fight for his spot at Arsenal and is set on staying put until next year, and the German's mammoth £350,000-a-week wages were also thought to hinder negotiations with Fenerbahce.
Ozil has amassed 44 goals from 254 appearances for the Gunners since arriving in 2013, but the midfielder has only mustered one goal and two assists from 18 Premier League outings this term.
