The agent of Werder Bremen midfielder Mesut Ozil is aware of interest from Arsenal and Sevilla. Gunners boss Arsene Wenger is planning an end-of-season deal for the youngster and has already held talks with Werder representatives.

Ozil's agent, Reza Fazeli, told Estadio Deportivo: "I have seen Arsenal and Sevilla, but our agency is not normally saying anything about signings.

"Nor do we want to destablise him, it is a very important year for him to go the World Cup."
