Former Tottenham striker Darren Bent has branded the unnamed Arsenal player who 'leaked' the news about Mesut Ozil's reluctance to take a pay cut 'a snake'.
The Gunners are trying to convince their first-team squad to agree a 12.5 per cent wage reduction to ease the financial pain of the coronavirus crisis but some are against it.
Ozil is one of at least three players resisting the club's efforts to impose the salary slash for 12 months - news exclusively revealed by Sportsmail on Monday night.
But Bent insists those inside the dressing room circulating the information about the German midfielder are as much to blame, insisting Ozil should be doing his best to find out who it is.
