Inter & Juventus Reject Mesut Ozil Offer as Arsenal Seek to Offload German Outcast

Ozil has made more than 200 appearances for Arsenal since they signed him from Real Madrid in 2013, and has frequently been among the Premier League’s top assist makers, with 55 in the top flight.

He was a key player in the early stages of this season and even captained Arsenal on a number of occasions, but now appears to have fallen out of favour.
