Mesut Ozil could be on his way out of Arsenal , with his agent due to fly to Italy to seal a £25m move.

Mirror Football revealed that Ozil's future at the club was in doubt a fortnight ago , with boss Unai Emery unimpressed with the German stars contribution to the team.

And now it seems that Inter Milan are set to offer the 30-year-old a Serie A lifeline, with the Italian club keen to make a deal happen in January.

The Sun report that the players agents, along with brother Mutlu, will head to Italy this week to thrash out terms on a move to the Nerazzurri.

Ozil is the highest earner at the Emirates, and the Gunners are apparently prepared to accept a cut-price offer for the star in order to get his £350k per week salary off the wage bill.

Rumours over Ozil's future began circulating after he was left on the bench for the win over Bournemouth, with Emery stating he wanted a more physical presence.

Ozil has not featured for Arsenal since the draw with Wolves prior, and has now missed the last five matches.

He pulled out of the North London derby clash with Tottenham last weekend due to a mysterious back problem, with Emery admitting he did not know how the injury occurred or whether Ozil was even in the stadium to support his teammates.

Ozil looked to be in line for a return to action against Huddersfield on Saturday, having taken part in training the day before, but was once again omitted from the squad.

It is not the first time Ozil has been ruled out, with the midfielder also pulling out of the Gunners tie with West Ham earlier in the season with a cold.

Emery has been publicly critical of Ozil in the past, stating that he expected more from the World Cup winner.

But now it seems he is prepared to let him go, with Emery's preference for players with a high work rate - something Ozil is not synonymous with - also said to be a deciding factor.
