Two men arrested after security scare outside Arsenal star Ozil's house

The Gunners midfielder has not travelled with the squad for Sunday's game at Newcastle United following the incident outside his home

Two men were arrested outside Mesut Ozil’s house this week in the latest security scare for the Arsenal star.

The Gunners announced on Friday that both Ozil and Sead Kolasinac would not be part of Unai Emery’s squad for Sunday’s Premier League opener at Newcastle following "further security incidents" which were being investigated by police.

Arsenal’s statement came two weeks after Ozil and Kolasinac were the victims of an attempted armed robbery outside the latter’s house, which ended up with both being chased through the streets in Ozil's car by a gang on mopeds.
