The agent of Mesut Ozil insists he sees his future with Arsenal.

The German has been on the periphery of the first team for large parts of the current campaign.

His agent, Dr Erkut Sogut, appeared to put paid to any hopes of them getting him off the wage bill as he revealed his client intends to stay for the duration of his current deal.

“Rumours will always persist, there is no doubt about that," he told Turkish-Football.com.

“But one thing I can guarantee is Mesut's loyalty. His mind is focused on Arsenal, and Arsenal only.

“Mesut bleeds Arsenal red, and respecting his contract is a certainty.

“He'll be staying at Arsenal until at least 2021, and the fans need not to worry about the gossip that may come this summer.

“He has found a place he feels welcome and believes he has a lot more to give."
