Arsenal legend Thierry Henry is urging Mesut Ozil to sign a new deal and become a legend.

Henry wrote for The Sun: "He has said he wants to know if Arsene is staying beyond the summer. Look, I'm an Arsenal fan. For that reason I'm desperate for him to stay.

"But I understand his predicament. I was in the same situation in 2007 when I joined Barcelona — with a heavy heart. I didn't know Arsene's plans, either, as he was coming to the end of a contract then, too.

"People will say it's all about money for Mesut and that Wenger's contract is a smokescreen. We don't know. We have to trust what he says. Respect it.

"Mesut has won the World Cup with Germany. But at club level, he has only one title, with Real Madrid in 2012. He will be desperate for more.

"But he can do that at the Emirates."
