REVEALED: Ozil rejected bumper PSG offer for new Arsenal contract

Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil rejected a lucrative move to PSG last month.

Ozil penned a new three-and-a-half year contract with the Gunners yesterday, with his previous deal running down to June.

BILD says PSG chief Antero Henrique made contact with Ozil about a bumper move to Paris. PSG were willing to sign the midfielder last month, rather than wait until June.

However, Ozil rejected Henrique's approach as he considered his options.

And after Pierre-Emerick Aubameyang's arrival, it was enough to convince Ozil to pen new terms yesterday.
