Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil insists he is happy at the
club and wants to stay at the Emirates next season.
Ozil has two years left on his current contract but has been
routinely linked away from Arsenal. However, Unai Emery recently said how happy
he was that the German had responded to his demands of becoming more
consistent.
Ozil in an interview with a certain media outfit said he is
happy at Arsenal, but recognises the decision on his future is also down to the
club.
Asked if he wants to stay, Ozil said: “Absolutely. I’ve got
two more years on my contract. I don’t know after that but I’ve got two years
left.
Asked if he is happy, he said: “Yes. Why not? I’m 30 now,
still got years in front of me, it’s down to the club as well, of course, but
I’ve got two years here – after that, I don’t know what happens.”
While admitting it is frustrating not being able to play in
every game, Ozil insists he has no issues with Emery or his selection policy.
“No [issues with Emery]. Definitely not. There’s always
speculation, everyone inside knew that our situation is positive.
“It’s frustrating [not playing]. I want to play in every
game. Through injury, I’ve missed games but that’s football.
“As a footballer, you always want to start games. The coach
makes decisions which means you may not start but you have to keep going.”
Ozil’s future may depend on whether Arsenal are playing
Champions League football under Emery next term, with the Gunners hosting
Valencia in the Europa League semi-final first leg on Thursday.
They sit fifth in the Premier League, two points behind
fourth-place Chelsea with two games remaining.
