The former Germany international believes there are relatively few clubs likely to be of interest to the foward should he decide to leave the Gunners
Michael Ballack feels Mesut Ozil is waiting to learn if Arsene Wenger will remain at Arsenal before deciding his own future, but has reminded the Germany international his options are limited.
Ozil is out of contract in June 2018 and has, together with star striker Alexis Sanchez, been linked with a move away from north London amid the Gunners' continual failure to challenge for major trophies.
Missing out on Champions League qualification could yet see the playmaker seek to leave Emirates Stadium in the off-season.
