Mesut Ozil has intimated he will dig in his heels at Arseanl.

There has been intensive speculation over the future of the 30-year-old midfielder, who signed a new contract worth a reported £350,000 a week before tax in January last year which ties him to the club until 2021.

On Friday evening, Ozil posted a picture of himself wearing the Arsenal captain's armband.

Alongside the picture he included a quote from Bergkamp which read: "When you start supporting a football club, you don't support it because of the trophies, or a player, or history, you support it because you found yourself somewhere there; found a place where you belong."
