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.
