The Germany star may demand the shirt as part of any package to extend his time at the Emirates Stadium
Mesut Ozil is not good enough to wear the Arsenal No.10 shirt, according to former England international midfielder Ray Wilkins.
The Germany international playmaker has yet to sign a new deal with the Gunners and is free to open talks with any potential suitors as early as January. However, it has been reported that he is likelier to pen a new contract should he be given his preferred number, as he believes it will boost his brand.
