Mesut Ozil is still keen to get his hands on Jack Wilshere's No 10 shirt at Arsenal.

Ozil has worn the No 11 shirt since he arrived at Arsenal from Real Madrid while Wilshere was given the No 10 when Robin van Persie joined Manchester United in 2013.

Wilshere joined Bournemouth on a season-long loan in the summer transfer window but the season had already kicked off and Ozil had been assigned a shirt number by the time Wilshere departed.

The 28-year-old already wears the No 10 for his country following Lukas Podolski's retirement from international football.

And the German midfielder has admitted he would be keen to take Wilshere's number, if the opportunity arises.

'Since Wilshere's departure last summer, the number is free, but I have yet to get it,' he told Kicker.

Ozil revealed in the same interview that he would make a decision on whether to extend his contract with Arsenal dependent on Arsene Wenger's future.

Wenger's current deal with the Emirates Stadium club expires at the end of the season and he is yet to renew it.

The Germany international's contract runs out in summer 2018 but there are concerns he will not extend it before then.
