Agent Kia Joorabchian has criticised Arsenal management for not finding a solution to Mesut Ozil's situation.

The German midfielder is the highest paid player at the club, but has been frozen out by Mikel Arteta since he took charge last season.

"The Özil situation should have been resolved two years ago. What is the point of a player sitting and not playing? Who benefits from it? The club does not profit from it. The player ages, he does not profit from it. The agent does not profit from it," barked Kia to talkSPORT.

"I mean, I'm not entirely sure - apart from the fact that the player may have a monetary gain from getting an income - I do not think anyone really benefits from such a situation. I cannot really remember that we did not try everything to solve a problem with a player. I just do not see the point of it."
