Mesut Ozil has come out to clear the air in the midst of rumoured uncertainties over his future at Arsenal.
The former Real Madrid playmaker had a somewhat sour experience in the early stages of Unai Emery's reign when he was repeatedly left out of games.
It was believed at the time that Arsene Wenger's successor did not see him as worthy to play under him.
This birthed speculations that the 2014 World Cup winner will be allowed to leave the Emirates Stadium at the end of the season - a claim which is still very much alive even when Ozil has eventually fought his way back into the side.
The 30-year-old midfielder has now denied such as he says that he plans to remain at Arsenal beyond the end of the current season.
“I don’t think there’s a chance of that to be honest,” Ozil told DAZN Dach, as quoted by Goal.
“I’ve got two more years here and what happens afterwards is not in my hands. We’ll see then, but I’m proud to be at this club and really happy at this club.”
Ozil who got a contract extension in 2018 will be gunning to add the UEFA Europa League to the three FA Cup titles he has won since arriving from Spain in 2013.
He has raked six goals and three assists in all competitions so far this term and has one more opportunity to improve on that stat when we play Chelsea in Baku on May 29.
