Arsenal's German international Mesut Ozil says he is waiting to learn the fate of manager Arsene Wenger before agreeing to sign a new contract with the London club. Wenger's contract at Arsenal expires at the end of the season and Ozil's decision hinges on whether it is renewed or not, he told German football magazine Kicker.
"The club know that I am here above all because of Arsene Wenger, who came to get me and who has placed his trust in me. The club also know that I want to have clarity first of all about what the manager is going to do," he said. Ozil's contract has 18 months left to run and he said he is ready to re-sign, depending on Wenger's fate. "I am very happy playing for Arsenal and I feel very very good here. I told the club I am ready to sign extend my contract. The supporters want me here. So now it is up to the club." Arsenal, fifth in the table behind leaders Chelsea, are still in with a chance of winning the title, he insisted.
