Arsenal ready to bid for stroppy Real Madrid playmaker Ozil

Arsenal are ready to test Real Madrid's resolve for tetchy Mesut Ozil. The Mirror says Ozil is understood to be angry that he has been offered to other clubs as one of several players set to be sold off to pay for Tottenham star Gareth Bale.

Ozil stormed down the tunnel after being substituted with an hour gone in Real's 1-0 win at Granada.

The 24-year-old immediately showered and headed for the team bus.

The Gunners have been desperate for a big-name signing this summer, and the skillful Ozil would go some way to appeasing their frustrated fans.
