REVEALED: Arsenal boss Emery wanted to sign Ozil for PSG

Arsenal boss Unai Emery is happy to be working with Mesut Ozil, it has been claimed.

ESPN says there's no rift between the Germany international and his manager.

They claim that talk of a row is 'unfounded' and he was sent home twice by an Arsenal team doctor in the buid-up to their Premier League showdown.

He was supposedly prescribed a dose of antibiotics to cure a severe cold that then developed into laryngitis.

They add that Emery has always been an admirer of Ozil.

And he tried to sign the player during his time at PSG, back in January. Emery contacted the player personally in a bid to get him to sign and outline his tactical plans.

They even had a face to face meeting.
