Reports claimed Ozil was frustrated with Arsene Wenger’s side’s performance in Europe’s premier competition, where they suffered a 10-2 defeat to Bayern Munich, which had convinced him to leave the club.

However, while the former Real Madrid playmaker expressed his dissatisfaction at Arsenal’s performance against Bayern, he is still planning on sticking around at the club and pushing to win the biggest honour available in European football.

‘I would like to win the Champions League one day. With Arsenal.

‘I still have a year contract here.’

Ozil also revealed talks are ongoing with Arsenal regarding his future, although his focus remains the rest of the season.

‘This is still open,’ he added. ‘There were talks with the leaders of Arsenal.

‘However, I am currently concentrating on the current season, just like the leaders of Arsenal.’
