The agent of Mesut Ozil has travelled to the United States to meet with D.C United officials.

Erkut Sögüt met with club executives Jason Levien and Sam Porter to discuss Oil possibly swapping Arsenal for the MLS, according to the Washington Post.

The reports claims the move would happen early next year.

DC will be without a star player in January when Wayne Rooney is due to join Derby.

Ozil has not played for the Gunners since becoming the victim of an attempted carjacking in London.
