Arsenal manager Unai Emery has shunned Mesut Ozil away from the limelight and multiple reports are claiming the German is not happy with life at the club.
Ozil is one the most creative forward players in the Premier League but sadly he doesn’t quite fit the brief for Unai Emery.
The Arsenal manager wants players who can show hunger and press the ball but sadly Mesut Ozil is not particularly known for these traits.
During the past couple of weeks, rumours have been ripe that Mesut Ozil could be sold off in January and that he could be heading to Manchester United.
But now Arsenal legend Ray Parlour has given his reasons why Mesut Ozil will not be leaving the club and also why he will not be joining Manchester United.
‘I still think he is a very important player for the squad,’ Parlour told talkSPORT(as reported by the Metro).
‘I don’t know how you value him, because you have got to look at his wages, he is on a reported £350,000 a week.
‘Who is going to pay that money? I think you are going to find it really tough for someone to pay that sort of money in wages.
‘To value Ozil in this market, I would say £40m to £50m.
‘Where would he fit in there[Man United] though? Would he be a player that they need?
‘They have tried one [Alexis] Sanchez haven’t they? Would they lose Sanchez and get in Ozil? Would there be a swap deal?
‘I think it will come down to the wages. I would be surprised if they did.’
Mesut Ozil missed four games for Arsenal during the past couple of weeks due to a back trouble but now that he is fit we will have to wait and see whether Unai Emery decides to include him in his long-term plans.
