Ozil fires back at Arsenal manager in $630,000-per-week feud – Fox Sports

The Germany international hasnt featured since football returned from lockdown and has been left out of Arsenals last five matchday squads.
Arteta had initially cited his absence down to a back injury but there has been little mention of his recovery since.

Ahead of Arsenals clash with Liverpool on Wednesday, Arteta was quizzed on Ozils availability but insisted he would miss out yet again.
The Spaniard responded: With Mesut the situation is still the same as it was.
But Ozil has defied his manager on Twitter with a picture of him in training with the message: I AM READY.
Before his apparent injury, Arteta had previously said he was dropped for tactical reasons.
But it now looks abundantly clear that Arteta is keen to build his squad without the 31-year-old.
Arsenal have been desperate to get Ozils £350,000-a-week ($A630,000) wages off their books but no clubs are willing to come anywhere near close to his pay packet.

With his contract expiring next summer, it means Ozil could stay for another year pocketing huge money while not featuring.
Ozils agent Erkut Sogut has stated that his client intends to remain at the club until his contract expires in 2021.
SunSport exclusively revealed last week that Ozil is seeking a move to Turkey or America once he becomes a free agent.
