Mesut Ozil's message to Arsenal: I don’t want to leave, so that’s it

Out of favour German midfielder says he will stay with the club 'through to the last day' of his contract in June 2021

The National

August 13, 2020

  • English
  • Arabic

Arsenal's out of favour midfielder Mesut Ozil has said that he will leave on his own terms and plans to remain at the club until the end of his contract in 2021.

Ozil has not played a single minute since the Premier League resumed from its coronavirus-enforced pause in June with reports suggesting the Gunners want to pay-off the remaining year of his £350,000 (Dh1.7 million) per week deal

Manager Mikel Arteta insists the former Real Madrid player had been left out for "pure football reasons", although Ozil has been criticised for refusing to take a 12.5 per cent pay cut to help with the financial impact of the pandemic.

The 31-year-old had already lost his place in the team under previous manager Unai Emery but was back in the team when Freddie Ljungberg took over on an interim basis.

He has found himself ostracised again under Arteta and with seemingly little prospect of forcing his way back into the team.

"My position is clear," Ozil, who joined Arsenal in a £42.4m deal from Real Madrid in 2013, said in an interview with The Athletic.

“I’m here through to the last day of our agreement and I’ll give everything I have for this club. Situations like these will never break me, they only make me stronger.

"I showed in the past that I can come back into the team and I will show it again.

“I didn’t sign for two or three years, I signed for four and that should be respected by everyone.

"I love Arsenal, I love to work there, I love the people in the club – the real people, those I’ve been with for a long time – and I love London, it’s my home."

Ozil admitted that his decision to refuse a pay cut may have played his part in why he has again found himself sitting on the sidelines on matchdays.

But he also says that all the players wanted to contribute “but we needed more information and many questions were unanswered ... were rushed into it without proper consultation" at the time.

Ozil described how "people have been trying for two years to destroy me" and hoped to "turn the supporters against me and paint a picture that is not true".

He added: “For anyone in this situation, you have a right to know everything, to understand why it is happening and where the money is going. But we didn’t get enough details, we just had to give a decision.

“People who know me know exactly how generous I am and, as far as I’m aware, I was not the only player who rejected the cut in the end, but only my name came out."

As for his future under Arteta, Ozil said: "I committed myself to Arsenal because this was the club and the fanbase I wanted to play for. In that sense, nothing has changed. Mikel knows my quality and I will be ready when he needs me."

Key findings of Jenkins report
  • Founder of the Muslim Brotherhood, Hassan al Banna, "accepted the political utility of violence"
  • Views of key Muslim Brotherhood ideologue, Sayyid Qutb, have “consistently been understood” as permitting “the use of extreme violence in the pursuit of the perfect Islamic society” and “never been institutionally disowned” by the movement.
  • Muslim Brotherhood at all levels has repeatedly defended Hamas attacks against Israel, including the use of suicide bombers and the killing of civilians.
  • Laying out the report in the House of Commons, David Cameron told MPs: "The main findings of the review support the conclusion that membership of, association with, or influence by the Muslim Brotherhood should be considered as a possible indicator of extremism."

Farage on Muslim Brotherhood

Nigel Farage told Reform's annual conference that the party will proscribe the Muslim Brotherhood if he becomes Prime Minister.
"We will stop dangerous organisations with links to terrorism operating in our country," he said. "Quite why we've been so gutless about this – both Labour and Conservative – I don't know.
“All across the Middle East, countries have banned and proscribed the Muslim Brotherhood as a dangerous organisation. We will do the very same.”
It is 10 years since a ground-breaking report into the Muslim Brotherhood by Sir John Jenkins.
Among the former diplomat's findings was an assessment that “the use of extreme violence in the pursuit of the perfect Islamic society” has “never been institutionally disowned” by the movement.
The prime minister at the time, David Cameron, who commissioned the report, said membership or association with the Muslim Brotherhood was a "possible indicator of extremism" but it would not be banned.
