Mesut Ozil 'likely to make MLS move'

Unsettled Arsenal attacker Mesut Ozil is eyeing a move to the MLS amid the uncertainty surrounding his future, according to a report.

Unsettled Arsenal attacker Mesut Ozil is reportedly interested in a move to the MLS.

The 30-year-old has only made one Premier League appearance for the Gunners this season and has not even made the bench for their last three top-flight fixtures.

Ozil is currently fit and available for selection but continues to be snubbed by Arsenal boss Unai Emery, who also left the German out of Thursday's Europa League clash with Vitoria Guimaraes.

The attacker still has little under two years left to run on his £350,000-a-week contract at the Emirates Stadium, and he recently claimed that he would stay with the club until at least 2021.

However, according to Bleacher Report, Ozil will reconsider his future at the start of 2020, and the MLS has emerged as the playmaker's number one choice should he seek pastures new.

The report claims that DC United, who are losing Wayne Rooney to Derby County, are interested in Ozil, while David Beckham's Inter Miami are also considering a swoop.

Former Manchester United midfielder Paul Scholes claimed on Thursday night that the Red Devils should be monitoring Ozil's situation in London ahead of a possible move.
