The Arsenal star has his heart set on a move to Manchester United, according to a report.
A report from the Mirror today claims that Gunners ace Mesut Ozil has already begun telling his teammates that he will be leaving the club on a free transfer in the summer, before joining up with Manchester United.
The 29-year-old has come in for heavy criticism from some sections of the Arsenal faithful in recent weeks for what has been perceived as a total lack of effort and commitment to the Gunners’ cause.
Ozil arrived at the Emirates from Real Madrid in September 2013, for what at the time was a club record fee of £42.5 million, and initially impressed for Arsene Wenger’s men.
His work-rate, or lack of it, has been questioned over the past two years though, with many fans and pundits alike claiming that Arsenal are a better team without the World Cup winner.
The Mirror suggest that Ozil has rejected terms on a new deal worth around £275,000 per week, and has already informed his teammates that he will be linking up with Jose Mourinho at Old Trafford.
