​Arsenal legend Parlour confident Ozil finished in North London

Arsenal legend Ray Parlour believes that Mesut Ozil is done at the club.

The German playmaker has struggled to earn a regular starting spot this season.

His problems with boss Unai Emery go back to last term, and the 30-year-old is rarely in the matchday squad this season.

And Parlour believes the emergence of young attacking players only limits Ozil's chances to shine.

Parlour told talkSPORT: "I have been really impressed by the youngsters coming through, from Arsenal's point of view.

"Ozil's not even in the squad now. I think that's probably the end of his career at Arsenal.

"You have got youngsters that deserve an opportunity probably more than him at the moment.

"[Bukayo] Saka has come in on the left-hand side, you have got [Gabriel] Martinelli, from Arsenal's point of view going forward he's been excellent. [Dani] Ceballos played at the weekend.

"They have got lots of options now."
