Arsenal midfielder Ozil takes cheeky dig at Tottenham

Arsenal midfielder Mesut Ozil has enjoyed a cheeky dig at North London rivals Tottenham.

The German held a Q&A on social media and asked if he would rather play for Spurs or retire.

Ozil responded: "If I don't want to win a cup, I should go there."

And the jibe to Arsenal's bitter rivals had Gooners hailing the playmaker.

Tottenham have not won a trophy since 2008, when they lifted the League Cup.

Ozil further caught the attention of fans when he revealed he is fit to play against Fulham in Arsenal's opening game of the season.

He said: "I'm fit & ready and doing my best.

"Unfortunately it's not in my hands to decide about the squad on the weekend. We will see!"
