Mesut Ozil is “the elephant in the room” at Arsenal and a “millstone” around the club’s neck, claims Kevin Campbell, with Mikel Arteta needing to make some big decisions when it comes to moving fringe players out.
The Gunners have been making positive moves in the current window. Experienced forward Willian has been snapped up as a free agent from London rivals Chelsea, while highly-rated defender Gabriel Magalhaes has been acquired from Lille.
Other deals are said to be in the pipeline, but Arteta may need to sell before he can buy.
