Arsenal Manager Claims He Needs Mesut Ozil In His Team
We need Mesut Ozil says Emery Amid Exit Rumours.
Mesut Ozil continues to generate plenty of transfer talks and move away rumour at Arsenal, but Unai Emery says the World Cup winner is still needed within his plans as he is also part of his refined squad.
The German playmaker has fallen out of favour at Emirates Stadium lately, with his manager favouring other options.
Ozil who failed to make the matchday squad for a Carabao Cup quarter-final derby date with Tottenham on Wednesday, with Emery citing “tactical decisions” for his omission.
With uncertainty reigning in north London, it was been suggested that a January move may be the main deal with Serie A giants Inter among those credited with holding an interest for the German player.
Despite being initially reluctant to discuss his star midfielder's future at the club, he offered one-word answers to the assembled press, who gathered the Arsenal boss.
He told reporters ahead of their Premier League clash with Burnley on Saturday:
“I want every player with a good mentality to help us.
He can give us his quality and his characteristics. We need Mesut Ozil.
“Every player wants to play and help the team when we need them.
The frustration is the same for everybody when they haven't played a match.
“I have told him what we need from him. He has the commitment to help us and the quality and the characteristics to help us when the team need him on the pitch.
“Tomorrow he is in the 18 players in the squad.”
Pressed asked him again on whether Ozil’s future lies at Arsenal,
Emery said: “Yes, why not?”
