How Arsene Wenger reacted to Mesut Ozil’s record-breaking Arsenal contract. Arsenal will consider allowing Mesut Ozil to leave on loan in January following a breakdown in his relationship with Unai Emery. The 30-year-old was left out of the match day squad ahead of Wednesday’s night’s Carabao Cup defeat against Tottenham with Arsene Wenger’s successor citing ‘tactical’ reasons for the German’s absence. Reports claim the tension between the former Real Madrid star and his new manager intensified after Ozil was hauled off midway through the second half of Arsenal’s recent draw against Crystal Palace. Ozil was replaced by Danny Welbeck and ignored Emery as he walked towards the touchline, before throwing his gloves off in anger.

Arsenal’s hopes of selling Ozil in January appear remote, given he signed a new contract just under 12 months ago worth a staggering £350,000-a-week. Ozil had less than six months remaining on his old deal and, faced with the prospect of losing another star player for nothing, having seen Alexis Sanchez move to Manchester United, in a swap deal involving Henrikh Mkhitaryan, former chief executive Ivan Gazidis decided to offer Ozil a club-record deal. According to the Independent, even Wenger, who had always been one of Ozi’ls biggest supporters, resented the club bowing to the playmaker’s demands with such an exorbitant salary offer.
