Mesut Ozil is “too good” to have been left out at Arsenal for football reasons, says Paul Merson, with the Gunners accused of trying to force a World Cup winner through the exits.
The German playmaker remains on the books at Emirates Stadium and will not see another transfer window open until January.
It may be that he finally seeks a move in 2021, with there no chance of him seeing competitive minutes prior to that after being omitted from Mikel Arteta’s Europa League and Premier League squads.
