'It's indefensible... he should set the example': Gary Neville and Jamie Carragher rip into Mesut Ozil as he resists Arsenal wage cut - and say the £350,000-per-week star now faces being 'alienated'

Jamie Carragher and Gary Neville have laid into Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil following the revelation that he is refusing to take a pay cut at Arsenal.

The Premier League club have been in discussions with their players and announced on Monday evening that they had reached an agreement with all players and coaching staff on a 12.5 per cent cut for a period of 12 months.

However, as revealed exclusively by Sportsmail, it is understood Ozil is one of three players refusing to accept the drop in salary, and is instead pushing to have his wages deferred instead.
