Unai Emery 'wants to sell Mesut Ozil this month'

Arsenal boss Unai Emery is reportedly desperate to sell Mesut Ozil before the end of the January transfer window.

Ozil has not turned out for Arsenal in the Premier League since Boxing Day and was left out of the squad for Saturday's clash with West Ham United despite being available following a slight knee issue.

The German only signed a new £350,000-a-week contract with the Gunners last year, and his deal at the Emirates Stadium will run until the end of the 2020-21 campaign.

Ozil seemingly does not fit into Emery's style of football, though, and according to the Daily Mail, the new Arsenal boss wants the club to find an exit route for the playmaker before the end of the month.

However, the report has claimed that the Gunners are 'still to receive credible interest' in Ozil.

The 30-year-old has scored 41 times and registered 73 assists in 212 appearances for Arsenal since joining the London club from Real Madrid in 2013.
