*Ozil
yet to make decision on future as Arsenal start contract talks*
Arsenal
finally opened talks with Mesut Ozil's representative last month over a
contract extension but the German star has yet to make a decision on his
future, as per reports.
The
Gunners are confident that Ozil will not sign a pre-contract with a foreign
club in January, with Alexis Sanchez and Jack Wilshere in the same position as
their contracts also expire in the summer.
Talks
over a renewal for Ozil were put on hold back in February last year due to the
uncertainty surrounding manager Arsene Wenger’s own contract situation.
However, when the Frenchman renewed his deal by a further two years at the end
of May, there was no decision taken to resume talks with any of the
aforementioned trio.
The
club didn't put their first formal offer on the table to Ozil's representative
until December - a delay of almost 10 months - while Wilshere has also yet to
be offered a contract , despite Wenger claiming there is a difference in
financial terms between club and player.
Barcelona,
Paris Saint-Germain and Manchester United have all shown varying levels of
interest in Ozil, who has four goals and five assists in 17 Premier League
games this season.
