The Arsenal star could join Manchester United in January, according to the bookies.
Popular bookmakers Ladbrokes have installed the Red Devils as favourites in the race to sign Gunners ace Mesut Ozil in January, with the German’s contract set to expire in the summer.
The 29-year-old has been under fire from fans and pundits alike over the past 12-18 months, with many claiming that he is totally undeserving of a place in the Arsenal side.
Ozil moved to the Emirates from Real Madrid in the summer of 2013, and has actually produced fairly impressive numbers for Arsene Wenger’s side, chalking up 32 goals and 57 assists in 167 appearances for his club.
Most Arsenal fans would be happy to see the back of the mercurial playmaker, however, and Jose Mourinho could be just the man to get the best out of the Germany international.
The Gunners star played under the Portuguese during their time together at Real Madrid, and there is nothing that the 54-year-old would like more than to take a failing Arsene Wenger player under his wings and breathe life back into his career.
Ladbrokes believe that United will face stringent competition for Ozil’s signature, however, listing Inter Milan and Juventus at 6/4 and 6/1 respectively.
