Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil remains determined to stay at the club despite reports linking him with a move to MLS side D.C. United.
The Gunners had been open to the idea of offloading the German in the summer transfer window as they seek to lower their wage bill, with Ozil the highest-paid player at the club on £350k per week.
And there remains the opportunity for Ozil to be moved on, with the transfer window still open for many foreign clubs despite Premier League sides no longer being able to bring in new players.
