Arsenal have confirmed they're investigating whether academy coach Mark Arber bet on the signing of Mesut Ozil.
The London Evening Standard says former Dagenham and Dartford defender Arber, whose father Bobby has also worked for the Gunners as a scout, posted a Tweet on his personal account, @1Arbs, on Monday that suggested he had bet on Germany midfielder Ozil's impending move to the Emirates Stadium.
"Lovely bit of 14-1 Mesut," he wrote.
The Premier League club are now looking into the potential breach of gambling rules.
A club spokesman said: "We take this very seriously. All Arsenal employees and workers are well aware of their responsibilities in this respect. Following an investigation we have taken appropriate action in relation to a casual worker."
