Mesut Ozil Ready To Sign £280,000-A-Week Deal To Stay At The Emirates

The German playmaker, whose contract runs out next year, has been offered a £280,000-a-week salary to remain at the Emirates. Ozil was holding out for £350,000 a week, but he is prepared to cut a deal this summer with the Gunners.

The former Real Madrid star does not have a serious offer from another major club. And boss Arsene Wenger is now hopeful Ozil, 28, who cost £42.5million from Real Madrid four years ago, will stay on a new long-term deal. Wenger, who this week signed his own new two-year deal, is also trying to tie down strike star Alexis Sanchez.
