Ozil’s agony close to end
Mikel Arteta following his appointment in December 2019, Ozil has not featured since a 1-0 win over West
Ham before Covid-19 brought football grinding to a halt.
He was omitted from Arsenal’s Premier League and Europa League squads, with Arteta and technical director Edu insisting the decision to do so was down to footballing reasons.
Ozil was criticised when he refused to take a pay-cut during the summer.
