Arsenal boss Arsene Wenger has confirmed that Mesut Ozil has entered contract negotiations with the club over a possible new contract.
The attacking midfielder’s deal runs out at the end of the current season and he has thus far, he had shown no real commitment to putting pen to paper on a new contract.
Manchester United are hoping to jump in and take on Ozil on a free transfer in the summer if the German doesn’t sign a new deal with the Gunners.
The Arsenal boss has always put on record that he and the club are very keen to keep the World-Cup winger.
Wenger spoke about the German, saying:
Negotiations are always going on with everybody. Our door is always open. For the rest, I can not tell you much more.
Oil can start formal negotiations with any foreign club in January so Arsenal will be hoping that he puts pen to paper on a deal before then.
